Chapter 18, Problem 8PS

(a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: It should be predicted that whether the given process is reversible or not.

Concept introduction: Reversible process are those process in which it is possible to return to the initial point, by the same path along which the change is carried out.

For a reversible process, the system should remain in equilibrium. However, spontaneous process involve non-equilibrium constants and are therefore irreversible.

For an irreversible process, the system can be brought to the initial point but there occurs a change in the surroundings.

(b)
