Arturo Rivas · Answer 1

A). False

B). False

C). False

D). True

Explanation:

As we know that, when system and surrounding return in initial position without leaving any effect on the surrounding then it is called reversible process.

Option A is false because this is not a adiabatic process.

Option B we know that work is path function and it depends on the path even process is reversible or irreversible. That is why option B is false.

Option C is false because we can not say that entropy change of system is zero. The entropy of system can be increase or decrease we can not say anything.

Option D is true because the entropy of universe is always zero for a reversible process. Universe is the summation of surrounding and system.
