  2. OH- ions are absent
  3. Both H+ and OH- ions are present in very small but equal concentration
  4. None of these

Correct answer: (C)
Both H+ and OH- ions are present in very small but equal concentration

332. In a totally irreversible isothermal expansion process for an ideal gas, δE = 0, δH = 0. Then δQ and δS will be
