Q169

Entropy of a substance remains constant during a/an __________ change.

A.
Reversible isothermal
B.
Irreversible isothermal
C.
Reversible adiabatic
Answer
D.
None of these

Answer: Option C

Solution

Answer: Option C
Solution:
Since only for a reversible process we have relation :

Since for an adiabatic process for an reversible adiabatic process
So, entropy remains constant. Whereas for an irreversible adiabatic process
Hence entropy goes on increasing for an irreversible adiabatic process.
