π‘ Solution & Explanation
(A) Spontaneity requires G ο to be negative. Here H ο is positive but nothing can be said about S ο, so the process may or may not be spontaneous. Hence, option (A) is incorrect. (B) Since, S 0 ο ο½ so G H ο ο½ο but H U P V ο ο½ο ο«ο , so this process can be spontaneous if V οis negative or zero or even small positive. But nothing is mentioned about V ο, so the process may or may not be spontaneous. So, (B) is incorrect. (C) For a reversible adiabatic process, Syst surr S S 0 ο ο½ο ο½ and for an irreversible adiabatic process, syst surr S 0 and S 0 ο οΎ ο ο½ So, (C) is incorrect.
