Answer:  1.  Water freezing : \Delta S is -ve.

2. Water evaporating : \Delta S is +ve.

3. Crystalline urea dissolving : \Delta S is +ve.

4. Assembly of the plasma membrane from individual lipids: \Delta S is -ve.

5.  Assembly of a protein from individual amino acids: \Delta S is -ve.

Explanation:

Entropy is defined as the measurement of degree of randomness in a system.

It is represented by symbol S and we can only measure a change in entropy which is given by \Delta S.

If there is decrease in randomness , the sign for \Delta S is -ve and If there is increase in randomness , the sign for \Delta S is +ve.

1.  Water freezing: Entropy decreases as we move from liquid state to  to solid state and thus \Delta S is -ve.

2. Water evaporating : Entropy increases as we move from liquid state to  gaseous state and thus \Delta S is +ve.

3. Crystalline urea dissolving : The molecules convert from solid and ordered state to aqueous phase and random state. Thus the entropy increases and thus \Delta S is +ve.

4. Assembly of the plasma membrane from individual lipids:  random lipids are associating to form a single large polymer and thus entropy decreases and thus \Delta S is -ve.

5. Assembly of a protein from individual amino acids: random amino acids are associating to form a single large polymer and thus entropy decreases and thus \Delta S is -ve.

How was the periodic law rearranged to become the periodic table, and what is its purpose?
alexandr402 [8]

Answer:

At earlier times elements were arrangrd on the basis of their atomic masses to study their properties easily but there were various problems like isotopes needs different position in perodic table.

After discovery of atomic number modern periodic table was created on the basis of atomic number (number of proton) that is unique for each element and varies regularly. So study of a group of elements is much easier than each element seperately that is why modern periodic table was formed.

Match each description below with the name of the local wind system being described. warm, dry downslope wind affecting Southern
nadya68 [22]

Answer:

warm, dry downslope wind affecting Southern California - Santa Ana wind

a seasonally changing wind- monsoon

wind blowing from a valley up a mountain slope - valley breeze

generated by cold thunderstorm downdrafts - haboob

Explanation:

The Santa Ana wind occurs in early autumn. They bring hot and dry weather to areas around the South-West coast. They move at high speeds, affecting most parts of Southern California.

Monsoon is a seasonal wind that blows across Southern Asia. It usually blows in summer. It is a a seasonally changing wind.

Valley breeze is an example of convection current in nature. It is produced by rapid warming of the valley floor leading to the expansion of air making it to flow up the slopes. At night, radiation from the surface cools the slopes. This leads to the rise of cooler and denser air which drains into the valley.

Haboob is generated by cold thunderstorm downdrafts. It is associated with large sandstorms and dust storms.

In the operation of the Heat Transfer Service Unit, one of the variables you can control is the rate of cooling water flowing ag
max2010maxim [7]

Answer:

A. The rate of heat transfer through the material would increase.

Explanation:

To calculate the heat transfer in a heat exchanger you decide that there is not heat leakage to the surroundings, that means that  magnitude of the two transfer rates will be equal. Any heat lost by the hot fluid, is gained by the cold fluid. The equation that describes this is Q = m×Cp×dT

Where:

heat = mass flow ×specific heat capacity × temperature difference

So if we increase the rate of flow of cooling water and the other variables that ypu can control remain the same, the result is that the rate of heat transfer through the material would increase, as it is stated in option a.
