The given question is incomplete. The complete question is as follows.

An oxygen molecule is adsorbed onto a small patch of the surface of a catalyst. It's known that the molecule is adsorbed on 1 of 36 possible sites for adsorption. Calculate the entropy of this system.

Explanation:

It is known that Boltzmann formula of entropy is as follows.

             s = k ln W

where,   k = Boltzmann constant

              W = number of energetically equivalent possible microstates or configuration of the system

In the given case, W = 36. Now, we will put the given values into the above formula as follows.

                  s = k ln W

                    = 1.38 \times 10^{-23} ln (36)        

                    = 4.945 \times 10^{-23} J/K

Thus, we can conclude that the entropy of this system is 4.945 \times 10^{-23} J/K.

Which of the following treatments would enhance the level of the Pfr form of phytochrome?A) exposure to far-red lightB) exposure
puteri [66]

Answer:

B) exposure to red light

Explanation:

Plants use a phytochrome system to sense the level, intensity, duration, and color of environmental light do as to adjust their physiology.

The phytochromes are a family of chromoproteins with a linear tetrapyrrole chromophore, similar to the chlorophyll. Phytochromes have two photo-interconvertible forms: Pr and Pfr. Pr absorbs red light (~667 nm) and is immediately converted to Pfr. Pfr absorbs far-red light (~730 nm) and is quickly converted back to Pr. Absorption of red or far-red light causes a massive change to the shape of the chromophore, altering the conformation and activity of the phytochrome protein to which it is bound. Together, the two forms represent the phytochrome system.

According to newtons third law of motion action nd reaction forces are equal in magnitudes nd opposite in direction but they do
snow_lady [41]

Because the action and the reaction forces act on different objects

Explanation:

Newton's third law of motion states that:

<em>"When an object A exerts a force on an object B (action), then object B exerts an equal and opposite force (reaction) on object A"</em>

From the statement above, we clearly see that the two forces mentioned in the law act on different objects. In fact, the action is exerted on object B, while the reaction is exerted on object A.

When we are considering the free-body diagram of an object, we just represent all the forces acting on that object, but not the forces exerted on other objects: this means that the action and the reaction never appear in the same free-body diagram of the same object, so they do not cancel out, simply because they are applied to different objects.

AveGali [126]

Momentum of the wagon increases by (200 x 3)

                                                     = 600 newton-sec

                                                     = 600 kg-m/sec
