(D) | (S) |
| (T) |
Options:
Answer:
Solution:
Explain Question: The question is asking about the correct match of the different processes/reactions with changes in different functions.
Concept:
For Adiabatic Reversible Compression of an Ideal Gas:
Internal Energy (): Increases
* Since no heat is added (), and work is done on the gas:
For compression, is positive (work done on the system is positive), so .
* Relation (for ideal gas):
Enthalpy (): Increases
* For ideal gases, enthalpy depends only on temperature:
Since temperature increases during adiabatic compression, .
Temperature (): Increases
* During compression, molecules are forced closer together and gain kinetic energy, raising the temperature.
Gibbs Free Energy (): Increases
* In a reversible adiabatic process, the entropy of the system stays constant (), but pressure increases, so:
