The physical world around us behaves as it does partly because it’s made of a huge number of tiny molecules, each behaving rando

mly. In the 1800’s, the Scottish physicist James Clerk Maxwell imagined that seemingly non-random things would happen on a random basis in our real world. The fastest-moving molecules would occasionally all find themselves in one part of a water glass and begin to boil, while the slower ones, left to themselves for a bit, would freeze elsewhere in the glass. Or, at some point, all the molecules in a room would randomly be moving in just one direction, rather than every which way. The term associated with such weird hypothetical scenarios is “Maxwell’s demon.” Explain why you think we don’t see weird things like this happen, on a random basis in real life. Imagine this randomly weird world for a minute. Describe something that would make it very difficult (or at least interesting) to live in a “Maxwell’s demon” world.

1. Weird things like the one described above do not happen on a ramdom basis becuause molecules usually move within any enclosure in a ramdom manner. Thus, it is not possible for some types of particles to aggregate in one point while other types of molecule aggreagate in another point. Based on the kinetic energy that is available for each particle, each particle will move random
through the available space, colliding with one another and with the wall of container.

2. It will be a difficult thing to live in a Maxwell' demon world because, things will happen unpredictably and one will never know what to expect next because anything can happen at anytime. For instance, if one is drinking a glass of water, some of the particles of the water may just decide to aggregate to one part of the cup and start boiling. So, for someone who is taking a glass of water, the water may start boiling right inside his mouth when he is drinking, that will be a bad experience. When one is driving a car, the petrol particles may just decide to freeze up when one is busy speeding on the highway; that can cause a very serious accident. Thus, a world where the Maxwell law operates will be a chaotic world.

The equation, DF + heat Imported Asset D + F, is an example of an endothermic reaction.
zvonat [6]
The answer is TRUE.

If the Energy is on the left, then the problem is true. If it is on the right then it would be negative, false, and considered as exothermic.

Endothermic reaction = the products are higher in energy than the reactants.
Exothermic reaction = a chemical reaction that releases energy by light or heat.

State Boyle's, Charles's, and Gay-Lussac's laws using sentences, then equations
dimaraw [331]

Explanation:

1. Boyle's Law states that pressure is inversely proportional to the volume of the gas at constant temperature and number of moles.

P\propto \frac{1}{V}      (At constant temperature and number of moles)

P_1\times {V_1}=P_2\times V_2

2. Charles' Law states that volume is directly proportional to the temperature of the gas at constant pressure and number of moles.

V\propto T    (At constant pressure and number of moles

\frac{V_1}{T_1}=\frac{V_2}{T_2}

3. Gay Lussac's Law states that tempertaure is directly proportional to the pressure of the gas at constant volume and number of moles of gas

P\propto T    (At constant volume and number of moles)

\frac{V_1}{n_1}=\frac{V_2}{n_2}

Consider the following reaction: SO2Cl2(g)⇌SO2(g)+Cl2(g) A reaction mixture is made containing an initial [SO2Cl2] of 2.2×10−2M
lukranit [14]
I think you want to ask about Keq. At equilibrium, we can know [SO2Cl2] is 2.2*10-2 M -1.3*10-2M=9*10^-3 M. And [SO2]=[Cl2]. So the Keq=1.88*10^-2.
