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.

A chemical reaction takes place inside a flask submerged in a water bath. The water bath contains 8.10kg of water at 33.9 degree
lions [1.4K]

Answer:

The new temperature of the water bath 32.0°C.

Explanation:

Mass of water in water bath ,m= 8.10 kg = 8100 g ( 1kg = 1000g)

Initial temperature of the water = T_1=33.9^oC=33.9+273K=306.9 K

Final temperature of the water = T_2

Specific heat capacity of water under these conditions =  c = 4.18 J/gK

Amount of energy lost by water = -Q = -69.0 kJ = -69.0 × 1000 J

( 1kJ=1000 J)

Q=m\times c\times \Delta T=m\times c\times (T_2-T_1)

-69.0\times 1000 J=8100 g\times 4.18 J/g K\times (T_2-306.9 K)

-69,000.0 J=8100 g\times 4.18 J/g K\times (T_2-306.9 K)

T_2=304.86 K=304.86 -273^oC=31.86^oC\approx 32.0^oC

The new temperature of the water bath 32.0°C.

A beaker cannot be used for measuring the volume of a liquid because _____.
Ad libitum [116K]

Answer:

Data obtained can't be accurate.

Explanation:

A beaker can't be used for measuring the volume of a liquid because they did not calculate volume of a liquid accurately and precisely. The marks present on the beaker are not accurate, it is just an estimate so by measuring the volume of any liquid using beaker give us a false data so that's why beaker are not used for the measurement of a volume.
