Answer:
The height of Everest. Controversy over the exact elevation of the summit developed because of variations in snow level, gravity deviation, and light refraction. The figure 29,028 feet (8,848 metres), plus or minus a fraction, was established by the Survey of India between 1952 and 1954 and became widely accepted.
This is a chemical property due to radioactivity being a chemical characteristic of uranium. This fact describes its chemical structure.

Answer:
A reaction in which the entropy of the system decreases can be spontaneous only if it is exothermic.
Explanation:
The spontaneity of a reaction depends on the Gibbs free energy(ΔG).
- If ΔG < 0, the reaction is spontaneous.
- If ΔG > 0, the reaction is nonspontaneous.
ΔG is related to the enthalpy (ΔH) and the entropy (ΔS) through the following expression:
ΔG = ΔH - T.ΔS
where,
T is the absolute temperature (always positive)
Regarding the exchange of heat:
- If ΔH < 0, the reaction is exothermic.
- If ΔH > 0, the reaction is endothermic.
<em>Which statement is true? </em>
<em>A reaction in which the entropy of the system decreases can be spontaneous only if it is exothermic. </em>TRUE. If ΔS < 0, the term -T.ΔS > 0. ΔG can be negative only if ΔH is negative.
<em>A reaction in which the entropy of the system increases can be spontaneous only if it is endothermic.</em> FALSE. If ΔS > 0, the term -T.ΔS < 0. ΔG can be negative if ΔH is negative.
<em>A reaction in which the entropy of the system decreases can be spontaneous only if it is endothermic.</em> FALSE. If ΔS < 0, the term -T.ΔS > 0. ΔG cannot be negative if ΔH is positive.
<em>A reaction in which the entropy of the system increases can be spontaneous only if it is exothermic.</em> FALSE. If ΔS > 0, the term -T.ΔS < 0. ΔG can be negative even if ΔH is positive, as long as |T.ΔS| > |ΔH|.
