Q1
For a reversible process, the change in entropy of the system is equal to the heat absorbed divided by the temperature. This is expressed as:
  1. ΔS = Q/T
  2. ΔS = T/Q
  3. ΔS = Q + T
  4. ΔS = Q - T

Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

For a reversible process, the change in entropy of the system is equal to the heat absorbed divided by the temperature. This is expressed as:
Correct Answer: ΔS = Q/T
  • Step 1: Understand that entropy (ΔS) is a measure of disorder or randomness in a system.
  • Step 2: Recognize that for a reversible process, we can calculate the change in entropy using a specific formula.
  • Step 3: The formula for change in entropy is ΔS = Q/T.
  • Step 4: In this formula, Q represents the amount of heat absorbed by the system.
  • Step 5: T represents the absolute temperature at which the heat is absorbed.
  • Step 6: To find the change in entropy, you divide the heat absorbed (Q) by the temperature (T).
  • Step 7: This relationship holds true only for reversible processes, meaning the process can go forward and backward without any loss of energy.
