Question

What is a slow process in thermodynamics?

Answer 1

Hint :In an observation state, a slow process is one which takes too much time for the completion. Or the one which begins but never gets completed like the flow of heat from the ice. The fast processes are the process which completes immediately after the beginning of the reaction like the flow of heat from the sun.

Complete Step By Step Answer:
Thermodynamics is the branch of chemistry in which we study the flow of heat and factors affecting the flow of heat.
In the chemistry part of thermodynamics, the part of the universe which is under our observation i.e., which is under study is called a system. Whereas the rest of the universe which is not under our observation, study is called the surrounding. Together the system and surroundings are known as the universe.
In thermodynamics, there are three types of systems, (i) open system, (ii) closed system and (iii) Isolated system.
In thermodynamics, there are seven types of processes, (i) isothermal process, (ii) adiabatic process, (iii) isobaric process, (iv) isochoric process, (v) cyclic process, (vi) reversible process, (vii) irreversible process.
Among all the processes of thermodynamics, the isothermal process is the slowest of all.

Note :
Isothermal process is a process in which the temperature of the system remains constant. That is, the temperature calculated initially is always equal to the final temperature of the system. In simple words the temperature of the reaction is the same, no change in the temperature of the reactant and the product.
