NEET Chemistry Entropy MCQ Question
Consider a diagram representing the process of an ideal gas undergoing both reversible and irreversible isothermal expansion. Which label correctly identifies the entropy change for the irreversible process?

∆S total > 0
∆S total = 0
∆S total < 0
∆S total = ∆U
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
For an irreversible process, the total entropy change (∆S total) is greater than zero, indicating an increase in entropy for the system and surroundings.
