STANDARD Chemistry Entropy MCQ Question

Type: MCQ-conceptual-Easy-Class 11

The total entropy change (ΔSₜₒₜₐₗ) for the system and surrounding of a spontaneous process is given by

A

Sₜₒₜₐₗ = ΔSₛᵧₛₜₑₘ + ΔSₛᵤᵣᵣ > 0

B

Sₜₒₜₐₗ = ΔSₛᵧₛₜₑₘ + ΔSₛᵤᵣᵣ < 0

C

Sₛᵧₛₜₑₘ = ΔSₜₒₜₐₗ + ΔSₛᵤᵣᵣ > 0

D

Sₛᵤᵣᵣ = ΔSₜₒₜₐₗ + ΔSₛᵧₛₜₑₘ < 0

Correct Answer

Option A

Detailed Explanation

For a spontaneous process, total change in entropy (system + surrounding) should be positive.
