WBJEE · Chemistry · Thermodynamics (C)
The second law of thermodynamics says that in a cyclic process :
- A work cannot be converted into heat
- B heat cannot be converted into work
- C work cannot be completely converted into heat
- D heat cannot be completely converted into work
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(D) heat cannot be completely converted into work
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
