No.
#q = msDeltaT# where:
#q# is heat flow in#"J"# . In is positive, and out is negative.#m# is mass in#"g"# .#DeltaT# is change in temperature in#"K"# or#""^@ "C"# .
Entropy, however, is featured as
#\mathbf(DeltaG = DeltaH - TDeltaS)# where:
#DeltaG# is the Gibbs' Free Energy in#"kJ/mol"# .#DeltaH# is the enthalpy in#"kJ/mol"# .#T# is the temperature in#"K"# .#DeltaS# is the entropy in#"J/K"cdot"mol"# .
The capitalization matters.
