Answer: A. The second law of thermodynamics predicts that although localised areas may temporarily increase in the degree of order, the overall randomness of the universe will not decrease

Explanation: The second law of thermodynamics is that the total entropy of a system can remain constant only in ideal cases, which is otherwise called thermodynamic equilibrium. It is understood that these systems are isolated. In addition, the entropy of the system and the environment can also be constant in the case of a reversible process. In all other, therefore real cases, the entropy of the system and the environment increases, that is, in real cases the process of increasing the entropy of the system and the environment is irreversible. The reason for the irreversibility of the process of increasing entropy is that all natural, that is, real processes are irreversible, as a consequence of the asymmetry of reality, that is, the asymmetry between what happened and what will happen, which is otherwise called the past and the future.

Which of the following is a definition of reduction? a. Reduction is the gain of BOTH electrons AND oxygen. b. Reduction is the

Arada [10]

Answer: Option C) Reduction is the gain of electrons.

Explanation:

Reduction is a process involving a gain of electron(s), while oxidation involves a loss of electron(s).

Thus, an oxidizing agent is a substance that accepts electron(s) and become reduced, while a reducing agent is a substance that donates electron(s) and so becomes oxidized.

Thus, reduction is the gain of electron(s)
