Question

Consider the following statements

Statement - I: Process of intermixing of two gases is spontaneous process

Statement - II: Separation of gases from the mixture is a non-spontaneous process

Now, choose the correct option

• A.
  Only statement I is correct
• B.
  Only statement II is correct
• C.
  Both the statements are correct
• D.
  Both the statements are incorrect

Answer 1

The correct option is C

Both the statements are correct
The intermixing of gases does not require any external force and therefore,it is a spontaneous process. But the separation of gases from the mixture requires an external force and therefore,it is a non-spontaneous process.

Hence, the correct answer is option (c).
