NEET Physics Laws of Thermodynamics MCQ Question

Type: MCQ-conceptual-Hard-Class 11

Which of the following combinations accurately reflects the principles of thermodynamics regarding spontaneity and entropy?

A

If ΔG is negative, the process is spontaneous; a positive entropy change can lead to spontaneity at high temperatures.

B

If ΔG is positive, the process is spontaneous; an increase in entropy must always decrease the temperature.

C

For an isolated system, energy can change; spontaneity is independent of entropy changes.

D

Isothermal processes always involve heat transfer; adiabatic processes cannot do work on the surroundings.

Correct Answer

Option A

Detailed Explanation

Statement A correctly identifies that a negative ΔG indicates spontaneity, and highlights the condition where a positive entropy change can lead to spontaneous reactions at high temperatures. This is consistent with the information provided regarding the relationship between ΔG, entropy, and temperature.
