Direct conversion of $A$ to $B$ is difficult,so it is carried out by the path shown below. If $e.u.$ is the entropy unit,what will be $\Delta S_{(A \rightarrow B)}$?
Given:
$\Delta S_{(A \rightarrow C)} = 50 \ e.u.$
$\Delta S_{(C \rightarrow D)} = 30 \ e.u.$
$\Delta S_{(B \rightarrow D)} = 20 \ e.u.$

  • A
    $+100 \ e.u.$
  • B
    $+60 \ e.u.$
  • C
    $-100 \ e.u.$
  • D
    $-60 \ e.u.$
