Which statement about gases is true? A. They are made up of particles that always move very slowly. B. They are made up of parti
rosijanka [135]

Answer: D. They are made up of hard spheres that are in random motion.

Explanation:

A gas is a <u>state of aggregation of matter</u> in which, under certain conditions of temperature and pressure, <u>its molecules interact weakly with each other, without forming molecular bonds</u>, adopting the shape and volume of the container that contains them and tending to separate everything possible because of its <u>high concentration of kinetic energy</u>.

The molecules of a gas are practically <u>free</u> and have the ability to be distributed throughout the space in which they are contained because <u>the gravitational forces and attraction between them are practically negligible</u> compared to the speed at which they move. .

Therefore, gas molecules do not travel specific trajectories or vibrate in a stationary position, instead <u>they move quickly and randomly through the entire space of the container that contains them.</u>

Consider two solid blocks, one hot and the other cold, brought into contact in an adiabatic container. After awhile, thermal equ
Alex Ar [27]

Answer: The statement is not correct because the decrease in entropy of the hot solid CANNOT BE equal to the increase in entropy of the cold one

Explanation:

Let us start by stating the second law of thermodynamics and it the second law of thermodynamics states that there is an entity called entropy and entropy will always increase all the time. Also, the second law of thermodynamics states that the change in entropy can never be negative. The second law of thermodynamics can be said to be equal to Change in the transfer of heat, all divided by temperature.

So, the first law of thermodynamics deals with the conservation of energy. But there is nothing like conservation of entropy.

Therefore, the decrease in entropy of the hot solid CANNOT BE equal to the increase in entropy of the cold one because entropy is not a conserved property.
