Assertion:Spontaneous process is an irreversible process and may be reversed by some external agency. Reason:Decrease in enthalpy is a conrtributory factor for spontaneity.

What are reversible and irreversible processes? Give some examples of each.

Assertion : An exothermic process which is non-spontaneous at high temperature may become spontaneous at low temperature. Reason : Spontaneous process is an irreversible process and may be reversed by some external agency.

In a spontaneous irreversible process the total entropy of the system and surroundings

Assertion : In a reversible process, DeltaS_("universe") is zero. Reason : Entropy is an extensive property.

Assertion (A): An exothermic process, non-spontaneous at high temperature, may become spontaneous at low temperature. Reason (R ) : With decrease in temperature, randomness (entropy) decreases.

Assertion (A): The thermodynamic factor which determines the spontaneity of a process is the free energy. For a process to be spontaneous the free energy must be-ve. Reason (R ) : The change in free energy is related to the change in a process must always be positive if its is spontaneous.

Assertion : For an isothermal reversible process Q = - w i.e., work done by the system equals the heat absorbed by the system. Reason : Enthalpy change (DeltaH) is zero for isothermal process.
