Which of the following is true if the arrangement of an isolated thermodynamic system is of maximal probability?
A. Spontaneous change to a lower probability occurs
B. The entropy is minimum
C. Botzmann’s constant approaches zero
D. No spontaneous change occurs
E. The entropy is zero
(GR9277 #63)
Solution:
Maximal Probability → highest/maximum entropy → most stable state /equilibrium → No spontaneous change occurs. Spontaneous change occurs when the system is far from equilibrium.
Answer: D
