JEE Mains · Chemistry · STD 11 - 5. Thermodynamics and thermochemistry

An ideal gas undergoes isothermal expansion at constant pressure. During the process

  1. A enthalpy increases but entropy decreases
  2. B enthalpy remains constant but entropy increases
  3. C enthalpy decreases but entropy increases.
  4. D Both enthalpy and entropy remain constant.
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) enthalpy remains constant but entropy increases

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\Delta H = n{c_p}\Delta T = 0\) means \(\Delta H\) constant. \(\Delta S = nR\,\ln {\kern 1pt} \left( {\frac{{{v_f}}}{{{v_i}}}} \right) \geqslant 0\) \(\Delta S\) increases.
