Q

what does the second law of thermodynamics state?

what is this in equation form?

but this does change when we want to figure out the energy available to do work

A

that the energy available to form heat can also be used to do organizational work

ΔE=ΔH=ΔG+TΔS
ΔE=ΔH from 1st law
ΔH=change in enthalpy of the system
ΔG=gibbs free energy, available to do useful work
TΔS=temperature x change in enthalpy, like a tax paid to the universe

ΔG=ΔH-TΔS
ΔG=more - means more energy to do work
ΔH=more - means more energy available form rxn
TΔS=more + means TΔS is more + and this makes ΔG more -

note that ΔS is not a good predictor of spontaneity, if it is negative that there is less of the total energy ΔG available to do useful work ΔG
