View answer
Explanation: Degrees of freedom calculation treat intensive variables.
7. Which of the following cannot be treated as a variable for degrees of freedom calculation?
a) Temperature
b) Pressure
c) Volume
d) Work
View answer
Explanation: Since Volume is an extensive variable, it cannot be treated as a variable for degrees of freedom calculation.

a) 1
b) 2
c) 3
d) 4
View answer
Explanation: Number of compositions = Nsp – 1 = 2 – 1 = 1.
11. What is the number of compositions associated with a process stream, if the number of species in the stream is 4?
a) 1
b) 2
c) 3
d) 4
