For irreversible expansion of an ideal gas under isothermal condition, the correct option is:

For irreversible expansion of an ideal gas under isothermal condition, the correct option is:
  1. ΔU=0,ΔStotal =0
  2. ΔU0,ΔStotal 0
  3. ΔU=0,ΔStotal 0
  4. ΔU0,ΔStotal =0

Solution

Since the process is isothermal, that means temperature will remain constant and internal energy depends only on temperature, so internal energy will also be constant that is ΔU=0

And since there is irreversible expansion, the entropy of the universe will change. ΔStotal 0
