The following would lead to the smallest entropy loss in the surroundings: A. An endothermic reaction in a hot environment.

<h3>Further explanation </h3>

An endothermic process is process that absorbs energy from its surroundings, usually in the form of heat. Whereas an exothermic reaction is a chemical reaction that releases energy through light or heat. In an exothermic reaction, the external entropy (or entropy of the surroundings) increases. Whereas in an endothermic reaction, the external entropy (or entropy of the surroundings) decreases.

$Change in entropy = \frac{Change in thermal energy}{Temperature in Kelvin}$

For the loss of entropy, change in the thermal energy must be negative. It is possible only in case of endothermic reaction, since it absorbs heat energy from the surroundings. Whereas the higher the temperature of surrounding, the lower will be change in entropy

The following would lead to the smallest entropy loss in the surroundings: A. An endothermic reaction in a hot environment.

Hope it helps! Thanks

1. its temperature will rise continuously until it melts

I don't believe that any of the other answers are correct because it can not stay at a certain temperature if it is melting

You used a calorimeter in the heat transfer lab. Explain how the calorimeter works, and how to calculate the heat given off or a

Olenka [21]

A calorimeter contains reactants and a substance to absorb the heat absorbed. The initial temperature (before the reaction) of the heat absorbent is measured and then the final temperature (after the reaction) is also measured. The absorbent's specific heat capacity and mass are also known. Given all of this data, the equation:
Q = mcΔT
To find the heat released.

A cheetah can run 112km/h over a 100-m distance. what is this speed in meters per second

Naya [18.7K]

First convert the 112 km/hr ratio into m/s (meters per second). To do this you multiply 112 km with 1000 m/km (since there's 1000 m in one km). You get 112000 m. Then multiply 1 hr with 60 min/hr (since there's 60 min in one hr. You get 60 min, but you want seconds, so multiply 60 min with 60 s/min to get 3600 s. There you go! Your answer is the speed of 112000m/3600s, but you can simplify that to 31.11m/s (since the answer should be in ? meters per 1 second.

Also, the "100-m-distance" part of the question is just to throw you off, because one particular speed obviously stays constant over any distance. Hope that helps :)
