Match the following processes with entropy change

Reaction Entropy change
A. A liquid vaporises 1. $$\Delta S=0$$
B. Reaction is non-spontaneous at all 2. $$\Delta S$$ = positive
C. Reversible expansion of an ideal gas 3. $$\Delta S$$ = negative

Explanation

$$\mathrm{A.\to(2)\quad B.\to(3)\quad C.\to(1)}$$

A. When a liquid vaporises, i.e., liquid $\rightarrow$ vapour, entropy increase i.e., $\Delta S=$ positive

B. When $\Delta H=$ positive, i.e., energy factor opposes. The process is non-spontaneous at all temperatures if entropy factor also opposes the process, i.e., $\Delta S=$ negative

C. In the reversible expansion of an ideal gas, the system remains in equilibrium at every stage. Hence, $\Delta S=0$

Subjective

Match the following parameters with description for spontaneity.

$$\Delta$$ (Parameters)
$$\Delta_r H^s \Delta_r S^s \Delta_r G^s$$
Description
A. + $$-$$ + 1. Non-spontaneous at high temperature
B. $$-$$ $$-$$ + at high T 2. Spontaneous at all temperatuers
C. $$-$$ + $$-$$ 3. Non-spontaneous at all temperatures

Explanation

A. $\rightarrow$ (3)

B. $\rightarrow$ (1)

C. $\rightarrow$ (2)

A. When $\Delta_r G^{\mathrm{s}}$ is positive, reaction is non-spontaneous at all temperatures

B. When $\Delta_r G^{\mathrm{s}}$ is positive at high temperature means the reaction is non-spontaneous at high temperature.

C. When $\Delta_r H^{\mathbb{S}}=$ negative means it favours, $\Delta_r S^{\mathbb{s}}=$ positive means it also favours. $\Delta_r G^{\circ}=$ negative means reaction is spontaneous at all temperatures.

Subjective

Match the following

A. Entropy of vaporisation 1. decreases
B. K for spontaneous process 2. is always positive
C. Crystalline solid state 3. lowest entropy
D. $$\Delta U$$ in adiabatic expansion of ideal gas 4. $$\frac{\Delta H_{vap}}{T_b}$$

Explanation

A. $\rightarrow(2,4)$

B. $\rightarrow$ (2)

C. $\rightarrow$ (3)

D. $\rightarrow$ (1)

A. Entropy of vaporisation is always positive. It is equal to $\Delta H_{\text {vap }} / T_b$

B. $\Delta_r G^{\circ}=-R T \ln K$

If $K$ is positive, $\Delta_r G^{\circ}=$ negative and reaction is spontaneous.

C. Crystalline solid state has lowest entropy.

D. During adiabatic expansion of an ideal gas, $q=0$. Hence, $\Delta U=q+W$ gives $\Delta U=W$, i.e., work done is at the cost of internal energy which decreases.
