Delta S(tot)
Can someone please explain what the difference between delta S, delta S (surroundings), and delta S (tot) is? Also, how do these relate to each other when calculating them?

Re: Delta S(tot)
Also, specifically for in a reversible system, deltaS(tot) is equal to 0, so deltaS(sys) = -deltaS(surr)

I don't think that's true.

Oh, I have that in my notes from a TA-led review session... maybe I misunderstood what he was saying then.
