The value of entropy of solar system is
Increasing
decreasing
constant
zero
A.
Increasing
This is the second law of thermodynamics. All spontaneous processes (or naturally occuring processes) are thermodynamically irreversible and accompanied by a net increase of entropy, ie , for all the spontaneous processes, the total entropy change (sum of the entropy changes of the system and the surroundings) is positive Thus, "the entropy of the universe is continuously increasing.
Which of the following statements is true?
The total entropy of the universe is continuously decreasing
The total energy of the universe is continuously decreasing
The total energy of the universe remains constant
The total entropy of the universe remains constant
A gas expands from a volume of 1m3 to a volume of 2m3 against an external pressure of 105Nm-2. The work done by the gas will be

Given thermochemical equation, 2H2 (g) + O2(g) → 2H2O,ΔH = -571.6 kJ. Heat of decomposition of water is
-571.6 kJ
+571.6 kJ
-1143.2 kJ
+ 285.8 kJ
The ratio of heats liberated at 298 K from the combustion of one kg of coke and by burning water gas obtained from kg of coke is (Assume coke to be 100% carbon). (Given : enthalpies of combustion of CO2, CO and H2 as 393.5 kJ, 285 kJ, 285 kJ respectively all at 298 K)
0.79 : 1
0.69 : 1
0.86 : 1
0.96 : 1
The process is spontaneous at the given temperature, if
ΔH is +ve and ΔS is -ve
ΔH is -ve and ΔS is +ve
ΔH is +ve and ΔS is +ve
ΔH is +ve and ΔS is equal to zero.
The correct statement regarding entropy is
at absolute zero temperature, entropy of a perfectly crystalline solid is zero
at absolute zero temperature, the entropy of a perfectly crystalline substance is positive
at absolute zero temperature, the entropy of all crystalline substances is zero
at 0°C, the entropy of a perfect crystalline solid is zero
A reaction has both ΔH and ΔS-ve. The rate of reaction
increases with increases in temperature
cannot be predicted for change in temperature
increases with decreases in temperature
remains unaffected by change in temperature
