Explanation:
Solubility is defined as a property of solutes by virtue of which they get dissolved in a favorable solvent. The solute can only be dissolved in any suitable solvent up to a limit at a given temperature. This is a characteristic of the the solute-solvent pairing.
The radioactive decay of unstable isotopes continually generates new energy within Earth's crust and mantle, providing the primary source of the heat that drives mantle convection. Plate tectonics can be viewed as the surface expression of mantle convection.
The answer is a change in internal energy causes work to be done and heat to flow into the system.
<u>Explanation:</u>
- The first law of thermodynamics is a similar version of the law of conservation of energy where the energy can neither be created nor be destroyed, it can be transformed from one form to the other.
- It also defines that the work is done and heat flowing into the system is due to the change in internal energy. The sum of all energy including kinetic and potential energy except the displaced energy to the surrounding is known as internal energy.
- ΔU represents the change in internal energy of the system, Q represents the net heat transferred into the system, and W represents the net work done by the system. So +ve Q adds energy to the system and =ve W takes energy from the system. Thus ΔU=Q−W.
