MCQ
An ideal gas undergoes isothermal expansion at constant pressure. During the process
  • A
    enthalpy increases but entropy decreases
  • enthalpy remains constant but entropy increases
  • C
    enthalpy decreases but entropy increases.
  • D
    Both enthalpy and entropy remain constant.

Answer

Correct option: B.
enthalpy remains constant but entropy increases
b
$\Delta H = n{c_p}\Delta T = 0$ means $\Delta H$ constant.

$\Delta S = nR\,\ln {\kern 1pt} \left( {\frac{{{v_f}}}{{{v_i}}}} \right) \geqslant 0$ $\Delta S$ increases.
