Which is the characteristic of entropy?

  • A.It remains unchanged in few adiabatic frictionless processes.
  • B.It decreases when heat is supplied irrespective of the fact whether temperature changes or not.
  • C.It decreases when heat is removed whether temperature changes or not.
  • D.It increases if temperature of heat is raised without work being done as in a throttling process.

Answer: C

The characteristic of entropy named in the key is that it decreases when heat is removed, whether the temperature changes or not. Entropy of a system changes by \(\int \frac{dQ}{T}\) for a reversible process, so removing heat makes the integral negative and lowers the entropy of the system. The first statement is not what the key accepts, since entropy is unchanged in reversible adiabatic processes and increases in irreversible ones. The statement that it decreases when heat is supplied is the reverse of the truth, and the fourth statement about a throttling process is not the keyed statement.
