From the definition of entropy, the entropy change of an object is
$\delta S = \frac{Q}{T}$
where
Q is the heat absorbed
T is the absolute temperature

in our problem, we have Q=25.0 J, while the absolute temperature is (converting in Kelvin)
$T=20 ^{\circ}C + 273 = 293 K$

and so the entropy change is
$\delta S= \frac{25.0 J}{293 K}=0.085 JK^{-1}$

ΔS of the object : <u>0.085324 J mol/K</u>

<h3>Further explanation </h3>

Entropy (with the symbol S) in thermodynamics indicated the degree of system disorder

Entropy like other thermodynamic terms can only be calculated from the initial and final changes

Entropy will also change in the process of changing energy forms

The value of ΔS ° can be calculated from standard entropy data

<h3>∆S ° (reaction) = ∑S ° (product) - ∑ S ° (reagent) </h3>

Entropy can also be calculated from the change in heat (ΔQ) to temperature (T), under Isothermal process (constant temperature) conditions

$\rm \boxed{\Delta S=\dfrac{\Delta Q}{T}}$

From this equation it can be seen that entropy will rise if the temperature gets lower (hot to cold)

An object at 20°C absorbs 25.0 j of heat

T = 20 + 273 = 293 K

ΔQ = 25 J

then:

Entropy: ΔS =

$\rm \Delta S=\dfrac{25\:J}{293\:K}=\boxed{\bold{0.08532\:J\frac{mol}{K}}}$

A current of 0.92 a flows in a wire. how many electrons are flowing past any point in the wire per second? the charge on one ele

Fantom [35]

The current is defined as the ratio between the charge Q flowing through a certain point of a wire and the time interval, $\Delta t$ :
$I= \frac{Q}{\Delta t}$
First we need to find the net charge flowing at a certain point of the wire in one second, $\Delta t=1.0 s$ . Using I=0.92 A and re-arranging the previous equation, we find
$Q=I \Delta t= (0.92 A)(1.0 s)=0.92 C$

Now we know that each electron carries a charge of $e=1.6 \cdot 10^{-19} C$ , so if we divide the charge Q flowing in the wire by the charge of one electron, we find the number of electron flowing in one second:
$N= \frac{Q}{q} = \frac{0.92 C}{1.6 \cdot 10^{-19} C}=5.75 \cdot 10^{18}$

Describe at least two ways that you can reduce the friction between two solid surfaces

Firlakuza [10]

I will try to name as much as I can :

• Magnets
• Butter
• Petroleum
• Using a spherical object leaves the surface with very little surface area, basically using balls will help alot
• Using a hockey table leaves you with not friction at all when on
