CHM 101 Chemical Thermodynamics Objective Question

Question

For an isothermal process, how is entropy change calculated?
Options
A ΔS = q_rev / T
Correct Answer
B ΔS = q × T
C ΔS = ΔH / T
D ΔS = ΔU / T
Correct Answer

Option A is the correct answer.

Detailed Explanation

For an isothermal process (constant temperature), the change in entropy is equal to the heat that would be transferred if the process were reversible divided by the temperature: ΔS = q_rev / T.

Hint

The notes provide this formula.
