Answer:
Yes, this is <em><u>true</u></em>. Hope this helps :)
Answer: Option (a) is the correct answer.
Explanation:
Entropy is defined as the degree of randomness present in a substance. This means that more randomly the atoms in a substance are moving more will be entropy of the substance.
Entropy of a substance increases with increase in temperature.
For example, when a piece of wood is burned then its molecules will gain kinetic energy and hence, they start to move randomly from one place to another.
As a result, there will occur an increase in its entropy.
Thus, we can conclude that when a piece of wood is burned then its entropy increases.
Answer:
If an object moves along a straight line, the distance traveled can be represented by a distance-time graph. In a distance-time graph, the gradient of the line is equal to the speed of the object. The greater the gradient (and the steeper the line) the faster the object is moving.
Explanation:
Answer:
a. -4.166 J/K
b. 8.37 J/K
c. 4.21 J/K
d. entropy always increases.
Explanation:
Given :
Temperature at hot reservoir , 
= 720 K
Temperature at cold reservoir , 
= 358 K
Transfer of heat, dQ = 3.00 kJ = 3000 J
(a). In the hot reservoir, the change of entropy is given by:
(the negative sign shows the loss of heat)
= -4.166 J/K
(b) In the cold reservoir, the change of entropy is given by:
= 8.37 J/K
(c). The entropy change in the universe is given by:
= -4.16+8.37
= 4.21 J/K
(d). According to the concept of entropy, the entropy of the universe is always increasing and never decreasing for an irreversible process. If the entropy of universe decreases, it violates the laws of thermodynamics. Hence, in part (c), the result have to be positive.
