Question
For an isolated system, $\Delta\text{U}=0,$ what will be $\Delta\text{S}?$
✓
Answer
Change in internal energy $(\Delta\text{U})$ for an isolated system is zero for it does not exchange any energy with the surroundings. But entropy tends to increase in case of spontaneous reaction. Therefore, $\Delta\text{S}>0$ or positive.
