Second law of thermodynamics states entropy of the universe is always increasing. entropy always increases in a spontaneous process .

option B) second law of thermodynamics

for example if we keep a hot cup of coffee the heat is lost to surrounding and entropy( randomness increases) since it is a natural process entropy of universe increases.

Answer:

b. second law of thermodynamics  

Explanation:

Entropy (S) is a measure of the extent of disorder or randomness of a system. Greater the disorder, higher (more positive) will be the entropy.

According to the second law of thermodynamics the energy of an isolated system always increases and evolves towards thermal equilibrium. Since the universe is essentially an isolated system, it implies that the entropy of the universe is always increasing.

The change in entropy (ΔS) is given in terms of the ratio of thermal energy of the system (q) and temperature (T). SI unit is J/K

\Delta S=\frac{q}{T}

What is the partial pressure of carbon dioxide in a container that contains 3.63 mol of oxygen, 1.49 mol of nitrogen, and 4.49 m
lana66690 [7]

Answer:

Partial pressure of CO₂ is 406.9 mmHg

Explanation:

To solve the question we should apply the concept of the mole fraction.

Mole fraction = Moles of gas / Total moles

We have the total moles of the mixture, if we have the moles for each gas inside. (3.63 moles of O₂, 1.49 moles of N₂ and 4.49 moles of CO₂)

Total moles = 3.63 mol O₂ + 1.49 mol N₂ + 4.49 mol CO₂ = 9.61 moles

To determiine the partial pressure of CO₂ we apply

Mole fraction of CO₂ → mol of CO₂ / Total moles = P. pressure CO₂ / Total P

Partial pressure of CO₂ = (mol of CO₂ / Total moles) . Total pressure

We replace values: (4.49 moles / 9.61 moles) . 871 mmHg = 406.9 mmHg

Adding energy to solid water will turn it into ?
love history [14]

Answer:

Energy added to solid water will turn it into liquid water; add energy into liquid water and it will be turned into water vapor.

Explanation:

Adding energy is basically adding heat; the more heat, the more excited the molecules of H2O gets. In solid water, the molecules aren't really moving because they don't have a lot of energy, so it is solid. In liquid water (which is water in room temperature), it has a medium amount of energy; the molecules aren't stuck together but it isn't completely dispersed, so it is in liquid form. However, in water vapor, the energy becomes very high and the molecules are excited. The hydrogen bonds holding the molecules together break and the water is released as a vapor.
