Chemical Thermodynamics Question 174
Question: An ideal gas is allowed to expand both reversibly and irreversibly in an isolated system. If $ T_{i} $ is the initial temperature and $ T_{f} $ is the final temperature, which of following statements is correct-
Options:
A) $ T_{f} $ and $ T_{i} $ refer to the final and initial temperatures, respectively, and can be associated with both reversible and irreversible processes.
B) $ {{(T_{f})}{irrev}}>{{(T{i})}_{rev}} $
C) $ T_{f} $ > $ T_{i} $ for irreversible process but $ T_{f} $ = $ T_{i} $ for irreversible process
D) $ {{(T_{f})}{irrev}}>{{(T{i})}_{rev}} $
Show Answer
Answer:
Correct Answer: B
Solution:
- Work done in a reversible process is maximum. Thus $ T_2«T_1 $ in a reversible process or $ T_{i}«T_{f} $
