Question

Can entropy be reversed?

Open in App

Solution

Entropy:
Entropy is the measure of the disorderliness of a system.
It is the measure of the amount of energy that is unavailable for doing work.
The entropy of a closed system cannot be reversed because a closed system does not allow any exchange of matter and energy.
In small regions entropy of an open system can be reversed.

Q. Why entropy change is zero for a reversible process

Q. Assertion :In an ideal thermodynamically reversible process, the energy from work performed by or on the system would be maximized, and that from heat would be minimized. Reason: A reversible process is a process whose direction can be "reversed" by inducing infinitesimal changes to some property of the system via its surroundings, while not increasing entropy.

Q. Assertion :An alternative definition of a reversible process is a process that, after it has taken place, can be reversed and, when reversed, causes no change in either the system or its surroundings. Reason: By making no changes to system or surrounding we make sure that no no change in entropy has taken place.

Q. A system undergoes a reversible adiabatic process. The entropy of the system :
