Question

Explain with the suitable example that a reversible process must be carried slowly and a fast process is necessarily irreversible.

✓

Answer

A reversible process must pass through equilibrium states which are very close to each other so that when process is reversed, it passes back through these equilibrium states.
Then, it is again decompressed or it passes through same equilibrium states, system can be restored to its initial state without any change in surroundings

Explain this common observation clearly: If you look out of the window of a fast moving train, the nearby trees, houses etc. seem to move rapidly in a direction opposite to the train’s motion, but the distant objects (hill tops, the Moon, the stars etc.) seem to be stationary. (In fact, since you are aware that you are moving, these distant objects seem to move with you).
