In which example does entropy increase?

Chemistry
1 answer:
nikklg [1K]3 years ago
5 0

Explanation:

Entropy -

In a system, the randomness is measured by the term entropy .

Randomness basically refers as a form of energy that can not be used for any work.

The change in entropy is given by amount heat per change in temperature.

<u>entropy increases as the randomness increase , </u>

and ,

<u>entropy decrease as the randomness decreases . </u>

I. A piece of fruit freezes in liquid nitrogen.

randomness decreases , and so entropy decrease .

II. Librarians put library books back onto shelves at the end of the day.

randomness decreases , and so entropy decrease .

III. Liquid nitrogen boils in a beaker at room temperature.

change in state from less random liquid to gas , randomness increases , hence entropy increases

IV. Dry ice sublimes .

change in state from less random solid to gas , randomness increases , hence entropy increases .

V. A balloon collapses as its contents cool in liquid nitrogen .

cooling process , reduces the randomness , hence , entropy decreases .

How do cells use lipids and carbohydrates?
Nata [24]

Answer:

Animals tend to use carbohydrates primarily for short-term energy storage, while lipids are used more for long-term energy storage. Carbohydrates are stored as glycogen in animals while lipids are stored as fats (in plants carbohydrates are stored as cellulose and lipids as oils)

Answer:

The awnser is D

Explanation:

Since the black pieces absorb light better than white pieces, the white pieces will reflect light better. But since color doesn't affect sound, the sound waves are reflected the same.

The density of an aqueous solution of nitric acid is 1.64 g/mL and the concentration is 1.85 M. What is the concentration of thi
galina1969 [7]

Answer:

Mass % of the solution = 7.1067 %

Explanation:

Given :

Molarity of nitric acid solution = 1.85 M

Density of the solution = 1.64 g/mL

<u>Molarity of a solution is defined as the number of moles of solute present in 1 liter of the solution.</u>

Molarity=\frac{Moles\ of\ solute}{Volume\ of\ the\ solution}

Lets, consider the volume of the solution = 1 L

Thus,

Moles of nitric acid present in the solution:

Molarity=\frac{Moles\ of\ solute}{Volume\ of\ the\ solution}

Moles of Nitric acid=Molarity \times {Volume\ of\ the\ solution}

So,

Moles of Nitric acid  = 1.85 moles

Molar mass of nitric acid = 63 g/mol

The mass of Nitric acid can be find out by using mole formula as:

moles=\frac{Mass\ taken}{Molar\ mass}

Thus,  

Mass\ of\ Nitric\ acid=Moles \times Molar mass}

Mass\ of\ Nitric\ acid=1.85 g \times 63 g/mol}

<u>Mass of Nitric acid = 116.55 g</u>

Also,

Density=\frac{Mass}{Volume}

Given : Density = 1.64 g/mL

Also, 1 L = 10³ mL

Volume of the solution is 1000 mL

So, mass of the solution:

Mass\ of\ the\ solution=Density \times {Volume\ of\ the\ solution}

Mass\ of\ the\ solution=1.64 g/mL \times {1000 mL}

<u>Mass of the solution  = 1640 g</u>

Mass % is defined as the mass of solute in 100 g of the solution. The formula for the calculation of mass % is shown below:

Mass \% =\frac{Mass\ of\ the\ solute}{Mass\ of\ the\ solution} \times {100}

So,

Mass \%=\frac{116.55}{1640} \times {100}

<u>Mass % = 7.1067 %</u>

If gas is truly to be classified as a form of matter this means it can be measured. What form of gas can be measured?
juin [17]

Answer:

Gas is sometimes measured in cubic feet at a temperature of 60 degrees Fahrenheit and an atmospheric pressure of 14.7 pounds per square inch. Gas production from wells is discussed in terms of thousands or millions of cubic feet (Mcf and MMcf). Resources and reserves are calculated in trillions of cubic feet (Tcf).
