Answer:

hypothesis on the ultimate fate of the universe, which suggests the universe would evolve to a state of no thermodynamic free energy and would therefore be unable to sustain processes that increase entropy.

Answer:

See explanation.

Explanation:

Are you literally posting your entire you chemistry homework on this site, one question at a time? Anyways, the heat death refers to the second law of thermodynamics and entropy. Heat is constantly flowing from warmer to cooler objects and never the other way around. This heat flow increases entropy, which is constantly increasing. The universe will eventually disperse all of its heat energy away to continuously increase entropy and reach a limit as the temperature reaches 0 K at which point all molecular motion will cease and so will the life of the universe.

What is the energy of a photon of green light with a frequency of 5.50 x 101^4 Hz?

Minchanka [31]

I didn't know if you meant to the power of 14 but if you did here your answer:
3.64 x 10^-19
(you just multiply the frequency by Planck's constant= 6.63 × 10^–34)

Catalysts increase reaction rates by lowering the activation energy of a reaction.

Setler [38]

The answer is true, catalysts increase rates by lowering the activation energy of a reaction. Catalysts lower the reaction energy and so the reaction occurs faster. Enzymes perform the role of biological catalysts. Most metabolic pathways of the body are controlled by enzymes. Enzymes by classification are proteins. <span />
