Question
Statement I: A reversible process takes infinite time to complete. Statement II: In a reversible process, the driving force is only infinitesimally greater than the opposing force.
Answer: A
π‘ Solution & Explanation
Because the driving force and opposing force differ by an infinitesimally small amount ($dP$), the process occurs in infinite micro-steps, making it take an infinite amount of time to complete.
