Answer: Eutrophication is the enhancement of the growth of algae in the water body.
Explanation:
The scientists are worried for the climate change as if the climate changed to prolonged rainy then the frequent raining can remove toxic chemicals from the agricultural sites, landfills, industries, and from other locations and deposit them to the water body (river, lakes, ponds, and others). The deposition of the salts of nitrogen, phosphorus, and sulfur promotes the growth of algae in the water body. This leads to reduction in the concentration of oxygen in the water body. This is called eutrophication. The lack of oxygen can lead to mortality of aquatic animals.
The integrated rate law for a second-order reaction is given by:
![\frac{1}{[A]t} = \frac{1}{[A]0} + kt](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%20%5Cfrac%7B1%7D%7B%5BA%5Dt%7D%20%3D%20%20%20%5Cfrac%7B1%7D%7B%5BA%5D0%7D%20%2B%20kt%20)

Answer:
A reaction is non-spontaneous at any temperature when the Gibbs free energy > 0.
Explanation:
There is a state function, that determines if a reaction is sponaneous or non spontaneous:
ΔG = Gibbs free energy
A reaction is non spontaneous when it does require energy to produce that reaction. It will be spontaneous, when the reaction does not require energy to be occured.
The formula is: ΔG = ΔH - T.ΔS
ΔH → Enthalpy → Energy gained or realeased as heat.
ΔH < 0 → <em>Exothermic reaction. Spontaneity is favored
</em>
T → Temperature
ΔS → Entropy → Degree of disorder of a system.
When the system has a considered disorder ΔS > 0, disorder increases.
When the system is more ordered, ΔS < 0, disorder decreases.
The reaction will be non spontaneous if, the enthalpy is positive (endothermic reaction) and the ΔS < 0 (disorder decreases). It will not occur if we do not give energy.
ΔG < 0 → Spontaneous reaction
ΔG > 0 → Non spontaneous reaction
ΔG = 0 → System in equilibrium
