JEE Advanced2006ChemistryThermodynamics (C)Actual
The direct conversion of A to B is difficult, hence it is carried out by the following shown path. Given S_ (A C) =50 eu , S_ (C D) =30 eu , S_ (B D) =20 eu where eu is entropy unit, then S_ (A B) is
Options
- A+100 eu
- B+60 eu
- C-100 eu
- D-60 eu
Correct answer
B. +60 eu
Step-by-step solution
Given: S_ (A C) =50 eu , S_ (C D) =30 eu , S_ (B D) =20 eu where eu is entropy unit. Therefore, aligned S_ (A B) & = S_ (A C) + S_ (C D) + S_ (D B) & = S_ (A C) + S_ (C D) - S_ (B D) & =50+30-20=60 eu aligned
