MCQ
For which of the following processes, $\Delta S$  is negative?
  • A
    $C$ (diamond) $\to$  $C$ (graphite)
  • B
    $N_2(g,\,1\,atm) \to  N_2(g,\,5\,atm)$
  • C
    $N_2(g,\,273\,K) \to  N_2(g,\,300\,K)$
  • D
    $H_2(g) \to  2H(g)$

Answer

$(a)$ When diamond is converted into graphite when it is heated to $1500\,^oC$ and entropy is increased so $\Delta S > 0$
$(b)$ When pressure increases then molecules of gas will come closer and intermolecular distance decreases so entropy will also decrease and $\Delta S < 0$
$(c)$ When we increase the temperature of a gas then random ness is increased due to kinetic energy gained by molecules. So, $\Delta S > 0$
$(d)$  $H_2$ molecule is converted into atoms, the no. of particles increases . Thus entropy will increase. So, $\Delta S > 0$
