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)

According to the phase diagram for H₂O, what happens to the phases of
sergejj [24]

Answer:

"A", "water changes from a gas to a solid to a liquid", according to this phase diagram, at at 0°C, as pressure is increased from 0atm to 10atm.

Explanation:

The question asks what happens at 0°C, as pressure is increased from 0atm to 10atm.

According to the question, the temperature is held constant.  The pressure changes.  In the phase diagram, we find the temperature 0°C on the horizontal axis, and all points where the temperature are 0°C are along that vertical line.

Since the pressure starts at 0atm and increases to 10atm, we start at the bottom, and move upward along that line, to see what phases of matter the substance changes to.

At the bottom, it is initially in a "gas" phase.  As it moves up, it transitions to a "solid" phase.  Later, as it continues moving up, it changes again into a "liquid" phase.

Thus, the answer would be "A", "water changes from a gas to a solid to a liquid", according to this phase diagram, at at 0°C, as pressure is increased from 0atm to 10atm.

Umnica [9.8K]

Temperature, cloud cover and thunder are all examples of weather.  

<h3><u>Explanation:</u></h3>

Weather is described as conditions that prevail for a short period of time and the above-mentioned factors change variably throughout the day. Cloud cover simply describes the clouds coverage in the sky. It is one factor that is used to describe weather conditions since the type of clouds indicates prevailing weather.

For example, the presence of cirrus means there will be a storm in 24 to 48 hours. Weather conditions characterized by thunder is said to be stormy and it also has other conditions such as lightning, wind and fast rain with heavy raindrops. Temperature affects the warmness and coldness of the air and its movement. Moreover, it also affects all other aspects of weather conditions.

Using the data in the chart, which of the following would be a correct analysis? x values y values 0 4 1 8 2 16 3 24 The data in
Rom4ik [11]

The data indicates a direct relationship with a positive slope.

<h3>What is direct relationship?</h3>

Direct relationship is a type of relation in which if one factor increases the other will also increases and vice versa. This data represents direct relationship  because the increase occur in one value causes increase of another value so we can conclude that the data indicates a direct relationship with a positive slope.
