Q.
Match the following processes with entropy change:
Reaction
Entropy change
(i)
A liquid vapourises
(a)
$\Delta\,S=0$
(ii)
Reaction is non-spontaneouat all temperatures and $\Delta\,H$ is positives
(b)
$\Delta\,S$ = positive
(ii)i
Reversible expansion of an igasdeal
(c)
$\Delta\,S$ = negative
| Reaction | Entropy change | ||
|---|---|---|---|
| (i) | A liquid vapourises | (a) | $\Delta\,S=0$ |
| (ii) | Reaction is non-spontaneouat all temperatures and $\Delta\,H$ is positives | (b) | $\Delta\,S$ = positive |
| (ii)i | Reversible expansion of an igasdeal | (c) | $\Delta\,S$ = negative |
Thermodynamics
Solution:
Reaction
Entropy change
i
A liquid vaporises
As a liquid change to gaseous state, the movement of molecules will increase and hence the entropy will also increase.
ii
Reaction is non-spontaneous at all temperatures and AH is positive.
$\Delta G$ is positive as the process in non-spontaneous. Also, $\Delta H$ is positive. Hence, $\Delta S$ is negative
iii
Reversible expansion of an ideal gas
This process at every stage is always in equal
