Q378
For a spontaneous process, free energy
A.
Is zero
B.
Increases
C.
Decreases whereas the entropy increases
AnswerD.
And entropy both decrease
Answer: Option C
Solution
Answer: Option C
Solution:
From second law of thermodynamicsFor an irreversible process
And for a reversible process
For any spontaneous process there should be finite changes so, we can consider it as an irreversible process and we know for irreversible process from second law of thermodynamics by above discussion:
Under constant temperature and volume process
Similarly for an constant temperature and pressure process
