Answer:

answer A

Explanation:

A) the quantity of usable energy declines with each transformation → True . Since the entropy increases , the amount of energy that can not be converted to useful energy increases and since the total amount of energy is conserved, the quantity of useful energy decreases.

B) energy can be neither created nor destroyed → False in the context of entropy , since the energy is conserved regardless of the changes in entropy (First law → conservation of energy vs second law → increase of entropy)

C)  life should be impossible → False . Since the second law states that the entropy of the <u>universe </u>increases with time . Then the system (life) can experience a decrease in entropy  at the expense of a larger increase in entropy of the surroundings ( so the net increase is positive)

D) it is not possible to observe an increase in molecular organisation → False . Same as C. A system  can experience a decrease in entropy at the expense of a larger increase in entropy of the surroundings ( so the net increase is positive)

Besides being slow to reproduce, what else could make a population susceptible to being endangered?
olga_2 [115]

Answer:

Not being able to adapt to their surroundings

Explanation:

For example, a population living in a cold climate and wears little to no clothes will give them frost bite. And so the nature of needing to adapt is core to survival.

indicate whether the entropy of the system increases or decreases. Mixing 10 mL of 90.0 °C water with 10 mL of 10 °C water. The
Ivanshal [37]

Answer:

When the water is mixed with water at lower temperature the effective temperature of the system (i.e the water at lower temperature) will increase, thereby increasing it's entropy

Explanation:

The answer that "the entropy will is increases" is correct as:

The water at 90° C i.e at higher temperature is mixed with the water at 10° C i.e the water at the lower temperature.

The water at lower temperature will have molecules with lower energy while the water with higher temperature will have molecules undergoing high thermal collisions. Thereby, when the water is mixed with water at lower temperature the effective temperature of the system (i.e the water at lower temperature) will increase, thereby increasing it's entropy.

Therefore, the answer is correct with respect to the water at lower temperature.

Meanwhile, for the water at higher temperature , the temperature of the system will decrease. Thus, the entropy of the water at higher level will decrease.
