To determine whether a chemical reaction is spontaneous we must calculate the change in total entropy of the chemical system and its surroundings. This can be done directly using Î´ S Â° sys and âÎ´HÂ°/ T or indirectly using the change in Gibbs free energy Î´ G Â°.
Infield shift. The infield shift is a generic term used in baseball to describe an extreme defensive realignment from the standard positions to blanket one side of the field or another. Used almost exclusively against left-handed batters, it is designed to protect against extra base hits pulled hard into the gaps between the fielders on the right side.
A baseball field can be referred to as a diamond. The infield is a rigidly structured diamond of dirt containing the three bases, home plate, and the pitchers mound. The space between the bases and home is normally a grass surface, save for the dirt mound in the center.
