Question:
For a spontaneous process
For a spontaneous process
Show Hint
A spontaneous process tends to result in an increase in entropy, which aligns with the second law of thermodynamics.
Updated On: May 5, 2025
- Both Free energy and entropy decrease
- Free energy increases
- Free energy decreases whereas the entropy increases
- Free energy is zero
Hide Solution
Verified By Collegedunia
The Correct Option is C
Solution and Explanation
For a process to be spontaneous, the free energy must decrease, while entropy (a measure of disorder) typically increases.
