Match the following processes with entropy change:
Reaction | Entropy change |
(i) A liquid vapourises | (a) |
(ii)Reaction is non-spontaneous at all temperatures and is positive | (b) Positive |
(iii) Reversible expansion of an ideal gas | negative |
(i) - b
(ii) - c
(iii) -a
Explanation:
Reaction |
Entropy change |
(i) A liquid vaporises |
As a liquid change to gaseous state, the movement of molecules will increase and hence the entropy will also increase. |
ii) Reaction is non-spontaneous at all temperatures and AH is positive. |
ΔG is positive as the process in non-spontaneous. Also, ΔH is positive. Hence, ΔS is negative. |
(iii) Reversible expansion of an ideal gas |
This process at every stage is always in equilibrium |
