The entropy change of the surroundings, $\Delta$S_surr, is related to heat transfer, q, with respect to the system and temperature T by ________ A)(-q/T_sys = $\Delta$S_surr.) B)(+q/T_sys = $\Delta$S_surr.) C)(-q/T_surr = $\Delta$S_surr.) D)q/T_surr = $\Delta$S_surr. E)None of these, unless the system undergoes a reversible process.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The entropy change of the surroundings is given by the equation ΔSsurr = -q/T, as heat is transferred from the system to the surroundings. Therefore, the correct option is (F1F1F1S1F1F1F10q/T_surr F1F1F1S1F1F1F10 F1F1F1S1F1F1F10S_surr.)
