Entropy of a substance remains constant during a/an __________ change.
A. Reversible isothermal
B. Irreversible isothermal
C. Reversible adiabatic
D. None of these
Answer: Option C
Solution (By Examveda Team)
Since only for a reversible process we have relation :$$TdS = \delta Q$$
Since for an adiabatic process $$\delta Q = 0$$ $$ \,\,\, \Rightarrow $$ for an reversible adiabatic process $$TdS = 0.$$
So, entropy remains constant. Whereas for an irreversible adiabatic process $$TdS \geqslant 0.$$
Hence entropy goes on increasing for an irreversible adiabatic process.
