Q510

For an irreversible process involving only pressure-volume work

A.
(dF)T, P < 0
Answer
B.
(dF)T, P = 0
C.
(dF)T, P > 0
D.
(dA)T, V > 0

Answer: Option A

Solution

Answer: Option A
Solution:
Since for an spontaneous process
For, constant temperature and constant pressure process the above equation can be written as

For spontaneous process.
Here the F is Gibbs free energy and A is Helmholtz free energy.
