It is not possible to convert work entirely into heat. It is impossible to transfer heat from a cooler to a hotter body. The second law of thermodynamics is a consequence of the first law of thermodynamics. It is possible for heat to flow spontaneously from a hot body to a cold one or from a cold one to a hot one, depending on whether or not the process is reversible or irreversible. All of these statements are false.

Complete Question:

Which one of the following is a

true statement?

Group of answer choices.

A) The second law of thermodynamics is a consequence of the first law of thermodynamics.

B) It is possible for heat to flow spontaneously from a hot body to a cold one or from a cold one

to a hot one, depending on whether or not the process is reversible or irreversible.

C) It is not possible to convert work entirely into heat.

D) It is impossible to transfer heat from a cooler to a hotter body.

E) All of these statements are false.

E) All of these statements are false.

Explanation:

All of the following statements are false;

I. The second law of thermodynamics is a consequence of the first law of thermodynamics. The second law of thermodynamics is about a physical quantity known as entropy while the first law of thermodynamics states that energy cannot be created or destroyed but can only be transformed from one form to another.

II. It is possible for heat to flow spontaneously from a hot body to a cold one or from a cold one

to a hot one, depending on whether or not the process is reversible or irreversible. According to the second law of thermodynamics this is false due to the entropy.

III. It is not possible to convert work entirely into heat. It is possible to completely convert work into heat because it involves transferring energy.

IV. It is impossible to transfer heat from a cooler to a hotter body.
