Answer:
answer A
Explanation:
A) the quantity of usable energy declines with each transformation → True . Since the entropy increases , the amount of energy that can not be converted to useful energy increases and since the total amount of energy is conserved, the quantity of useful energy decreases.
B) energy can be neither created nor destroyed → False in the context of entropy , since the energy is conserved regardless of the changes in entropy (First law → conservation of energy vs second law → increase of entropy)
C) life should be impossible → False . Since the second law states that the entropy of the <u>universe </u>increases with time . Then the system (life) can experience a decrease in entropy at the expense of a larger increase in entropy of the surroundings ( so the net increase is positive)
D) it is not possible to observe an increase in molecular organisation → False . Same as C. A system can experience a decrease in entropy at the expense of a larger increase in entropy of the surroundings ( so the net increase is positive)
Explanation:
the best way to understand the age of the earth is to estimate the age of matirials in it
✡ Answer: 1.23*10^2 ✡
- - Add a decimal at the end (to the right) and count till you get to the first number.
So now you have 1.23
- - Now you always want to times it by 10 to the power of how many times you moved it over, in this case, 2
Final answer: 1.23*10^2

Answer:
Model
Explanation:
A model of anything is something you make to represent it in it's physical world form
Answer:
- <em><u>Step 2 (the slow step).</u></em>
Explanation:
The rate-determining step is always the slow step of a mechanism.
That is so, because it is the slow step which limits the reaction.
Imaging that for assembling a toy you have process of three steps:
- 1. order ten pieces, which you can do in 1 minute: meaning that you can order order the pieces for 60/1 = 60 toys in 1 hour.
- 2. glue the pieces and hold the toy until the glue hardens, which takes 1 hour: meaning finishingh 1 toy in 1 hour.
- 3. pack the toy, which takes 2 minutes: meaning that you can pack 60/2 = 30 toys in one hour.
The time to glue and hold one toy until the glue hardens determines that you can assemble 1 toy in 1 hour and not 60 toys or 30 toys.
Thus, the step that determines the rate at which the reaction happens is the slowest step: step 2.
