MCQ
In thermodynamics, a process is called reversible when
  • A
    The surrounding and system change into each other
  • B
    There is no boundary between system and surrounding
  • The surrounding are always in equilibrium with the system.
  • D
    The system changes into the surrounding spontaneously.

Answer

Correct option: C.
The surrounding are always in equilibrium with the system.
c
The process which follows the reversible path or which occurs an infinite number of steps in this way that the equilibrium conditions are maintained at each step, and the process can be reversed by an infinitesimal change in the state of functions is called reversible process. In thermodynamics, a process is called reversible when the surroundings are always in equilibrium with the system.
