(III) $\Delta$ S_universe = 0

Question

Which of the following statements about equilibrium are true? (I)$\Delta$G_sys = 0 (II)$\Delta$S_sys = 0 (III)$\Delta$S_universe = 0

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The correct answer is E.At equilibrium, the free energy of the system is minimized, and the entropy of the system is maximized. Therefore, the change in free energy of the system is zero, and the change in entropy of the system is zero. The change in entropy of the universe is also zero, because the entropy of the universe is always increasing.
