Answer: Option (b) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

According to the law of conservation of energy, it is known that energy can neither be created nor it can be destroyed.

But energy can be changed from one form to another.

Whereas entropy is the degree of randomness present within the molecules of a substance or object.

For example, gas molecules are able to move rapidly so, they have more entropy as compared to solid and liquid substances.

According to second law of thermodynamics, entropy of the system is always increasing.

Thus, we can conclude that "Conservation of energy" refers to the fact that energy cannot be created or destroyed but can be converted from one form to another.

Two sealed flasks each have a volume of 2.0 liters. Flask A contains N, O gas and Flask B contains H, gas both at 1

barxatty [35]

Answer:

Each gas have same number of molecules.

Explanation:

According to Avogadro law,

Equal volume of all the gases at same temperature and pressure have equal number of molecules.

Mathematical expression:

V ∝ n

V = Kn

V/n = K

k = constant

V = volume of gas

n = number of moles of gas

when volume change is changed from v1 to v2 and number of moles from n1 to n2 this law can be written as,

V1 / n1 = V2 /n2

This state that by increasing the number of moles of gas volume also goes to increase.

Write isotopic symbols in the form AZX for each isotope. a. the copper isotope with 34 neutrons b. the copper isotope with 36 ne

krek1111 [17]

Explanation:

The form AZX denoted that;

Z = The atomic number or proton number (symbol Z) of a chemical element is the number of protons found in the nucleus of every atom of that element.

A = Mass Number ( Sum of Neutrons and Protons)

X represents the element.

A. the copper isotope with 34 neutrons

X = Cu

Atomic Number of Copper, Z = 29

Mass Number, A = 29 + 34 = 63

63.29.Cu

B. the copper isotope with 36 neutrons

X = Cu

Atomic Number of Copper, Z = 29

Mass Number, A = 29 + 36 = 65

65.29.Cu

C. the potassium isotope with 21 neutrons

X = K

Atomic Number of Potassium, Z = 19

Mass Number, A = 19 + 21 = 40

40.19.K

D. the argon isotope with 22 neutrons

X = Ar

Atomic Number of Argon, Z = 18

Mass Number, A = 18 + 22 = 40

40.18.Ar

Why do animals need carbohydrates in their diets

Sever21 [200]

Answer:

Carbohydrates are energy-providing feed components composed of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen. They should make up about 75 percent of an animal's diet. The energy they provide powers muscular movements. Carbohydrates also produce the body heat that helps keep the animal warm.
