A system is said to be at equilibrium, if the entropy of the system has reached ____________ value?

Correct answer: C. Maximum

  • A. Minimum
  • B. Zero
  • C. Maximum
  • D. None of these

Explanation

For an isolated system at equilibrium, entropy is at its maximum, so no spontaneous change can increase it further. Minimum entropy applies to stable equilibrium under some other constraints, such as constant temperature and volume using Helmholtz energy.
