A reversible isothermal process is a thermodynamic process characterized by a constant temperature and an infinitesimally slow execution.
• Isothermal: Indicates that the temperature remains constant.
• Reversible: Signifies that the system maintains equilibrium throughout, necessitating an infinitesimally slow rate of change.
Pressure can vary during such a process. Key conditions are an infinitesimally slow process and constant temperature.
Consider the following compounds:
(i) CH₃CH₂Br
(ii) CH₃CH₂CH₂Br
(iii) CH₃CH₂CH₂CH₂Br
Arrange the compounds in the increasing order of their boiling points.
Assertion (A): The boiling points of alkyl halides decrease in the order: RI>RBr>RCl>RF.
Reason (R): The boiling points of alkyl chlorides, bromides and iodides are considerably higher than that of the hydrocarbon of comparable molecular mass.
Arrange the following compounds in increasing order of their boiling point: \[ \text{(CH}_3\text{)}_2\text{NH, CH}_3\text{CH}_2\text{NH}_2, \text{CH}_3\text{CH}_2\text{OH} \]
