which of the following expresses the relationship for the change in entropy in a reversible process between two end states, and then the change in entropy in an irreversible process between the same two end states? A) (S2-S1) irreversible = (S2-S1) reversible B) (S2-S1) irreversible > (S2-S1) reversible C) (S2-S1) irreversible < (S2-S1) reversible D) None of the above

Answer :

The correct option is C ;   (S2-S1) irreversible < (S2-S1) reversible ,  The second law of thermodynamics states that in a reversible process, such as the transfer of heat from a hot object to a cold object.

The entropy of the universe remains constant, whereas in an irreversible process, such as the transfer of heat from a hot object to a cold object, the entropy of the universe increases.

As a result, the universe's entropy change during reversible operations is zero. We can observe that for a reversible, adiabatic process, the entropy change of a system is zero.

A reversible process is one in which both the system and its environment may revert to their original conditions by taking the opposite path.

An irreversible process is one in which the system and its surroundings cannot revert to their original conditions.
