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)

What is a sun spot? in the sun on the surface
umka21 [38]
Sunspots Are decreased temperature areas. So it might be bright all around the sun spots, and the dark spots are where the temperature is lower. They usually form in polar pairs, meaning that on the other side in the same spot there would be another sunspot

how many moles of potassium dichromate (k2cr2o7) are required to prepare a 250-ml solution of with a concentration of 2.16 m?
Eva8 [605]

The moles of potassium dichromate , K₂Cr₂O₇ are required to prepare a 250 mL solution of with a concentration of 2.16 M  is 0.54 mol.

given that :

molarity = 2.16 M

volume = 250 mL = 0.25 L

the molarity is given as :

molarity = number of moles / volumes in L

from this we can calculate the number of moles, we get :

number of moles of K₂Cr₂O₇ = molarity × volume

number of moles of K₂Cr₂O₇ = 2.16 × 0.25

number of moles of K₂Cr₂O₇ = 0.54 mol

Thus, The moles of potassium dichromate , K₂Cr₂O₇ are required to prepare a 250 mL solution of with a concentration of 2.16 M  is 0.54 mol.

Which statement defines dynamic equilibrium? (5 points)
Shalnov [3]

Answer:

1. A state of balance in which the rates of the forward and reverse reactions are equal.

Explanation:

A dynamic equilibrium is like a cycle, the reactants change to products, but the products also change to reactants keeping the amount of each constant.

2. A state of balance in which the forward reaction stops but reverse reaction continues.

In this statement there isnt a equilibrium. The products will change to reactants until the reaction stops.

3. A state of balance in which the forward reaction continues but reverse reaction stops.

Here the reactants will change to products until the reaction stops.

4. A state of balance in which the forward and reverse reactions stop.

In this case the reaction has stopped.
