Physics · Thermodynamics
Consider a system undergoing a thermodynamic transformation from state A to state B via two different paths, a direct path with entropy change ΔS, and a two-step path via an intermediate state with entropy changes ΔS1 and ΔS2. Since entropy is a state function, the correct relation among the following is:
- 1ΔS1 = ΔS2 and ΔS ≠ ΔS1 + ΔS2
- 2ΔS1 > ΔS2 and ΔS ≠ ΔS1 + ΔS2
- 3ΔS = ΔS1 + ΔS2✓
- 4ΔS1 > ΔS2 and ΔS = ΔS1 * ΔS2
Correct answer
ΔS = ΔS1 + ΔS2
