JEE Main2017ChemistryThermodynamics (C)Actual
An ideal gas undergoes isothermal expansion at constant pressure. During the process:
Options
- AEnthalpy remains constant but entropy increases
- BEnthalpy decreases but entropy increases
- CEnthalpy increases but entropy decreases
- DBoth enthalpy and entropy remain constant
Correct answer
A. Enthalpy remains constant but entropy increases
Step-by-step solution
ΔH   =   nC p   ΔT   =   0,         ∴   ΔT   =   0 ∴ P ext = defined so process is irreversible. ΔS   =   nRln  V f /V i ≥ 0
