Well, you don't need enzymes (biological catalysts) if you're willing to wait a century or two to digest a burger.

Without catalysts, complex reactions like digestion would take too long and the organism could not extract energy from the nutrients it eats in a practical time frame.

In addition, speed is everything in the biological world.

Some reactions and their speed relative to other organisms reactions determines who survives and who doesn't, among other aspects of life.

If a plant is slow to photosynthesize and grow in a habitat high in competition for sunlight real estate, other autotrophs will surely take over.

which has a higher entropy for the reaction: 2nh3(g)→n2(g) 3h2(g) which has a higher entropy for the reaction: reactants product
krok68 [10]

The one that has a higher entropy for the reaction is products.

<h3>What is entropy?</h3>

Entropy is a measureable physical characteristic and a scientific notion that is frequently connected to a condition of disorder, unpredictability, or uncertainty. It is the measurement of the amount of thermal energy per unit of temperature in a system that cannot be used for productive work. It is a measure of a system's molecular disorder or unpredictability since work is produced by organized molecular motion.

It should bm be noted that the entropy of gas is more than entropy of aqueous which is more than the entropy of liquid and the entropy of solid.

On the product side there are more gas than the reactant side. Therefore, product has more entropy.

Answer:

A. Whatever is in the water, it moves. Even if a block is placed in there, it would move by sinking to the bottom. If a plastic bag was placed in there, it wouldn't sink but move a little.
