Which statement is true?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

While it is true that reversible processes usually involve less heat loss to the surroundings than irreversible processes, statement A is not always true. Statement B is also incorrect, as the state functions of the system and surroundings are independent of whether the process is reversible or irreversible. While a reversible process would in theory take place infinitely fast, Statement C is not true in practical terms. Therefore, the correct answer is D, as not all real processes can be reversed without an increase in entropy.
