The second law is the trend toward randomization, or increasing entropy.

Second law allows for diffusion because diffusion is an increase in entropy .Diffusion is the process of movement of molecule down the concentration gradient until they doesn't exist . This movement represents an increase in the entropy.

Second Law of Thermodynamics state that molecules will spontaneously move towards an area of lower concentration, from an area of higher concentration. Molecule are capable to travel across cell membranes known as lipophilic molecules as they dissolve in the lipid bilayer. Movement represents an increase in the entropy or disorder in the system .

Answer:

Expert

Explanation:

The perception of employees that a particular member of an organisation possesses a set of skills that are highly specialised or has a greater level of knowledge/expertise owing to their position in the given field is termed as expert power.
The expert power is possessed by acquiring the specialised skill or knowledge that other members of an organisation lack and this can actually give a lot of advantage as a person who possesses expert power is able to influence other people quite easily.
Since Rutland is medical diagnostic equipment specialist she possesses an expert power over the other members and hence, is able to exert a considerable influence over other people to adopt the laser technology for cancer.
