Second law of Thermodynamics

•A gas expands to fill the available volume.

•A hot body cools to the temperature of its surroundings.

•A chemical reaction runs in one direction rather than another.The direction of change that does not require work to be done to bring the change about is called spontaneous direction of change.

Internal energy lets us access whether a change is permissible. Only those changes occurs for which the internal energy of an isolated system remains constant.

Is it perhaps the internal energy that tends toward minimum for a spontaneous process?

dU>0

Perfect gas expands spontaneously into vaccum. dU=0

No process is possible in which the sole result is the absorption of heat from a reservoir and its complete conversion into work.

Entropy is measure of randomness/ chaosness.

Total entropy of the system and its surroundings increases in the course of a spontaneous change.

Why do Particles spread out into largest possible volume ?

Multiplicity increases as volume increases.

Particles spread out into largest possible volume to maximize the multiplicity of the system.

This is the force called pressure.
