Thermodynamics: Isobaric Process and Entropy

Play an AI-generated podcast conversation about this lesson

What is the characteristic of an isobaric process?

Constant temperature

Constant pressure (correct)

Constant volume

Constant entropy

What is the derivative of the enthalpy (H) with respect to pressure (P) at constant temperature?

∂H/∂P = V

∂H/∂P = ∂G/∂P (correct)

∂H/∂P = -T(∂V/∂P)_T

∂H/∂P = 0

What is the entropy change for an isothermal and isobaric process?

ΔS = 0

ΔS = -Q/T

ΔS = Q/T (correct)

ΔS = ∞
