← ScienceWhich outcome occurs when an endothermic chemical reaction drives a Carnot engine?
A)Increased thermal energy is converted
B)Maximized entropy in energy transfer✓
C)Reduced equilibrium reaction rate
D)Spontaneous process drives indefinitely
💡 Explanation
Maximum entropy occurs when an endothermic reaction heats the Carnot engine, because the added energy and reversibility increase the system's disorder during isothemal expansion; therefore, maximum entropy results, rather than increased thermal energy, which would require higher temperature source.
