Answer:

Melting of snow

Evaporation of water from desk

Explanation:

Processes that increase the entropy of the universe are those processes that have an increased disorderliness. We should note that there are three principal states of matter which are the liquid, gas and solid. The gaseous state is the most disorderly while the solid is the least disorderly.

Now. We can see that the cooling of a hot cup of coffee is a process that needs or leads to a loss in temperature which obviously decreases disorderliness of the universe.

The melting of snow however is a process that leads to an increase in the disorderliness of the universe. It entails moving from the solid state to the liquid state. It tends to move to a more disordered state indicating an increase in the entropy of the universe.

The evaporation of water from the desk is quite similar to that above. Hence since we are moving from the liquid to the gaseous state via evaporation, we can state that the entropy of the universe has increased since we have moved from a state with a lesser degree of disorderliness to a state that is more disordered I.e from liquid to gaseous state.

In order to predict the outcome of the reaction, write the molecular, full ionic, and net ionic equations for a mixture of aqueo
Elina [12.6K]

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

Full molecular equation;

2NH3(aq) + AgNO3(aq) -------> [Ag(NH3)2]NO3(aq)

Full ionic equation

2NH3(aq) + Ag^+(aq) + NO3^-(aq) --------> [Ag(NH3)2]^+(aq) + NO3^-(aq)

Net ionic equation;

2NH3(aq) + Ag^+(aq) -------->  [Ag(NH3)2]^+(aq)

When Silver nitrate is mixed with a solution of aqueous ammonia, a white and cloudy solution was observed.

Match the following items. Match the items in the left column to the items in the right column. 1. general or nonspecific observ
ivann1987 [24]
when column B is like the attached pic: (missing in your question)

so the matches will be like that:

1- Qualitative :

as Qualitative is a general or nonspecific observation, they also don't require

measurements and even can't be measured, that is because of the reality is

being approximated only. It  describes qualities and uses opinion

2- Hypothesis : 

as a hypothesis is an educated guess quantitative, and it is a prediction stated

in " If and then " form. a hypothesis to be valid need a research such as:

-Encyclopedia & state and local research facilities & scientific journals.

3- Direct relationship:

as a Direct relationship is when two variable change in the same direction,

and one remaining larger than the other by the same factory.  

- this is a type of a relationship in which there is a change with one variable, and corresponding with the change in the other. and because this corresponding change with the other variable in the same direction so it refers to a positive relationship. 

4- Quantitative:

as Quantitative is a measured observation, It's an information or data based

on quantities obtained. And using numbers, equipment and standard units.

5- Control :

as control is standard, reference data or experiment qualitatively. this is what

you compare your experimental results to. This is for comparing results, it

used as a standard for comparison and use baseline measurements to use in

the comparing.

6- Theory :

 as Theory is a presently accepted explanation of how something happened.

 Scientifically acceptable general principles to explain phenomena. It the

general or abstract principles of the science. for example the  wave theory of

light.

7- Law :

as a law is a statement that explains what something does under the same

conditions. when we take about law in science, it is a general rule to explain

the observations in the form of a mathematical statement. Scientific law may 

be stated in words or expressed as a mathematical equations.

8- Best fit curve:

as best fit curve is a curve drawn to average the data's deviations direct

relationship. It is a process of constructing a curve that has best fit to a

series of data points.
