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}

At 25 °c, what is the hydroxide ion concentration, [oh–], in an aqueous solution with a hydrogen ion concentration of [h ] = 3.0
chubhunter [2.5K]

As,

Water has a pkw=14

so it can be represented as,

[H+] [OH-] = 1*10^-14

If [H+] = 3*10^-5M

[OH-] = (1*10^-14) / ( 3*10^-5)

[OH-] = 3.3*10^-9 M

Suppose that 25,0 mL of a gas at 725 mmHg and 298K is converted to
posledela

The new volume : 21.85 ml

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Given

V1=25,0 ml

P1=725 mmHg

T1=298K is converted to

T2=273'K

P2=760 mmHg atm

Required

V2

Solution

Combined gas law :

\tt \dfrac{P_1.V_1}{T_1}=\dfrac{P_2.V_2}{T_2}

Input the value :

V2=(P1.V1.T2)/(P2.T1)

V2=(725 x 25 ml x 273)/(760 x 298)

V2=21.85 ml

How do you know that oxygen was the gas removed from the volume of air and not another
klio [65]
One way of knowing that oxygen was the gas removed from the volume of air and not another is to know what the volume of air is made of first. When the composition of the volume of air is already identified, then next would be the process of separating these elements from each other and as to which is to be separated first. This would usually lead to knowing their masses, their boiling and freezing points, the temperatures at which they condense, and so on. This is to identify their differences to each other and use those differences to successfully separate those elements to each other.
