I think the answer is systems tend to undergo changes towards lower energy and higher entropy.
Usually the point of chemical reactions is to go from a state of higher energy to lower energy (it is possible for reactions to go from lower to higher energy though as in the case of endothermic reactions).
As for entropy, usually it requires energy to lower the entropy of a system since entropy can be thought of as the relative disorder of the system. If you go from a state of higher disorder to lower disorder work usually needs to be done.
This trend can be shown in the equation ΔG=ΔH-TΔs:
ΔG stands for Gibbs free energy
ΔH stands for change in enthalpy
ΔS stands for change in entropy
T stands for temperature
when ever ΔG is negative the reaction is spontaneous which means that it is favored. As you can see ΔG is negative at any temperature when ΔH is negative and ΔS is positive showing that going to a lower energy state and raising the entropy is usually favored in nature.
I hope this helps. Let me know if anything is unclear or if you need further explanation.
Hey there!
Let's remember something. All over us, there is pressure, everywhere we go. So, this means that, if you were to hold something, (especially) high off the ground and there is higher pressure in the sky then on level ground, this would mean that the molecules would be more complex, and they would break down.
So, from your options listed above, I believe that the best answer to would go with this question would be Option B.) <span>They break down complex molecules.
I hope this helps you!

Answer:
The answer would be A to this question.
You need 158.70 grams of Fe2O3 to produce 111 grams of Fe. This is calculated by using the molar masses and stoichiometric relationship of the two compounds.
Solution:
MM Fe = 55.845 g/mol
MM Fe2O3 = 159.69 g/mol
Fe: Fe2O3 = 2 mol:1 mol
11 g FE (1 mol Fe/55.845 g Fe) (1 mol Fe2O3/2 mol Fe) (159.69 g Fe2O3 / 1 mole Fe2O3) = 158.70 grams Fe2O3
