Which of the Following is NOT a Feature of Thermodynamics

Question

Which of the following is NOT a feature of thermodynamics?
A)It describes the flow and interchange of heat,energy,and matter.
B)It allows the determination of whether a reaction is spontaneous.
C)It provides information on the rate of a reaction.
D)It considers heat flow and entropy production.

Accepted Answer

Thermodynamics does not provide information on the rate of a reaction, that falls under the field of kinetics. Thermodynamics deals with the study of energy and its transformation, the concept of entropy, and the relationship between heat and work. Therefore, option C is not a feature of thermodynamics.
