Question

For an isolated system, which of the following must be true for the isothermal process depicted by the initial and final states of a pure compound in the two boxes shown below?

A) A >0

B)G > 0

C)S > 0

D)H < 0

E)U < 0

Expert Solution
Step 1

The state that is being depicted in the given figure is entropy.

Entropy is a measure of randomness or disorderness of the system. It is a measure of the number of possible arrangements, the atoms in a system can have.
