Correct answer: C. Carnot statement
- A. Clausius statement
- B. Kelvin statement
- C. Carnot statement
- D. Boyles statement
Explanation
The Carnot statement of the second law of thermodynamics is derived from the analysis of heat engines and is related to the efficiency of an ideal reversible heat engine operating between two heat reservoirs

About Thermal Equilibrium and Heat
Thermal equilibrium means that bodies in contact have the same temperature and no net heat flows between them. The topic distinguishes heat from temperature, uses the zeroth law of thermodynamics, and covers heat transfer, specific heat capacity, thermal expansion and the conditions for reaching equilibrium.
