Answer: melting gold bars

Explanation:

Entropy is the measure of randomness or disorder of a system. If a system moves from  an ordered arrangement to a disordered arrangement, the entropy is said to decrease and vice versa.

1. Condensing water vapor: gaseous phase is being converted to liquid phase, thus the randomness is decreasing.

2. Melting gold bars: Solid phase is being converted to liquid phase, thus the randomness is increasing.

3. filtering grounds from coffee: The randomness is decreasing as some particles are being removed.

4. freezing popsicles: liquid phase is converting to solid phase, thus the randomness is decreasing.

elixir [45]

Answer:

Hello your question is poorly written below is the well written question

Uranium, an important component of both nuclear weapons and nuclear reactors, has two major isotopes, U-238, which has a half-life of  approximately 4.5 billion years, and U-235, which has a half-life of approximately 700 million years. Both were present in equal amounts at the time of the creation of the Earth, 4.5  billion years ago. How many years after the creation of the Earth had the amount of radiation from uranium decayed to half the amount present at the time of the creation of the Earth

Answer : 140 billion years

Explanation:

Given that :

U-238   h1/2 = 4.5 billion years

U-235   h1/2 = 700 million years

At the beginning both Isotopes where present in equal amount

Determine the T years before the amount of Uranium decays to Half

T =   ?    N'2 = N1 / 2

we know that N = No ( 1/2 )^h   where h = time / half-life time

attached below is the detailed solution of the given problem

Why do molecular compounds have low melting points and low boiling points relative to ionic substances?​
kap26 [50]

Answer:

The melting and boiling points of molecular compounds are generally quite low compared to those of ionic compounds. This is because the energy required to disrupt the intermolecular forces between molecules is far less than the energy required to break the ionic bonds in a crystalline ionic compound
