The entropy change can be calculated by ...

The entropy change can be calculated by using the expression `DeltaS-(q_(rev))/(T)`. When water freezes in a glass beaker, choose the correct statement amongst the following:

A

`Delta S` (system) decreases but `Delta S` (surroundings) remains the same

B

`Delta S` (system) increases but `Delta S` (surroundings) decreases

C

`Delta S` (system) decreases but `DeltaS` (surroundings) increases

D

`Delta S` (system) decreases but `Delta S` (surroundings) also decreases

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
The entropy change can be calculated by using the expression `Delta S= (q_("rev"))/(T)`
When water freezes in a glass beaker, `Delta S` (system) decreases because molecules in solid ice are less random than in liquid water. However, when water freezes to ice, heat is released which is absorbed by the surroundings. Hence, entropy of the surrounding increases.

The pressure volume work for an ideal gas can be calculated by using the expression w=-int_(V_(i))^(v_(f))Pex dV . The work can also be calculated from the pV-plot by using the area under the curve within the specified limits. When an ideal gas is compressed (a) reversibly or (B) irreversibly from volume V_(i) to V_(f) choose the correct option.

Select the option which is correct regarding true//false of the given stateements: Statements-1: Thermal decomposition of solid CaCO_(3) is expected to be spontaneous as high temperature and non-spontaneous at low temperatures. Statements-2: If the rate law for an acid catalysed reaction is r=K(Reactant)^(1)[Catalyst]^(@) then rate will be independent of presence / absence of catalyst. Statement-3: When water freezes in a glass beaker, volumes of the system increases at constant temperature and hence entropy will also increses.

The pressure-volume work for an ideal gas can be calculated by using the expression omega=-underset(upsilon_(1))int overset(upsilon_(1))P_(ex)dV. The work can also be calculated form the Pv, plot by using the area under the curve within the specified limits. When an ideal gas is compressed (a) reversiblity or (b) irrevesibly form volume V_(i) "to"V_(f) choose the correct option:
