Questions and Answers

What is a requirement for a process to be reversible?

  • The system must be in a state of flux
  • The system must be at rest (correct)
  • The system must be in equilibrium
  • The system must be in motion

    • What is a reversible process?

  • A process that can be reversed by an infinitesimally small change in a property of the system without a transfer of energy (correct)
  • A process that can be reversed by a large change in a property of the system
  • A process that can be reversed by an infinitesimally small change in a property of the system with a transfer of energy
  • A process that can be reversed by a large change in a property of the system without a transfer of energy

    • When can a process be approximately reversible?

  • If the system cannot respond to a change in its state
  • If the system can respond to a change in its state at the same speed as the change is occurring
  • If the system can respond to a change in its state slower than the change is occurring
  • If the system can respond to a change in its state faster than the change is occurring (correct)
