Answer: Option (c) is the correct answer.
Explanation:
Entropy is defined as the degree of randomness. This means that more is the number of collisions taking place between atoms of a substance more will be the randomness.
Therefore, more will be the entropy of substance. We cannot measure the entropy but we can measure the change in entropy of a substance.
A thermometer is a glass tube that contains a liquid column generally mercury, and it is usually used to measure the temperature of human body.
A calorimeter is a device or apparatus that is used in a chemical reaction to measure the amount of heat involved.
Therefore, we can conclude that the student can't measure entropy directly, only an entropy change.

Explanation:
The cold drink chiller is a cold substance which is inserted into a bottle of drink which contains warm liquid particles at a particular temperature.
Once the drink chiller is inserted, the liquid molecules around the drink chiller become cooler, denser and sink away from the drink chiller. Other warmer, less dense molecules of the liquid drink now replaces them around the drink chiller.
A convection current is thus set up for as long as the drink chiller is working.
Answer:
D. chlorine, oxygen, nitrogen, hydrogen.
Explanation:
- Thomas Graham found that, at a constant temperature and pressure the rates of effusion of various gases are inversely proportional to the square root of their masses.
<em>ν ∝ 1/√M</em>
where ν is the rate of effusion and M is the atomic or molecular mass of the gas particles.
- The molecular mass for the listed gases are:
O₂: 32.0 g/mol,
Cl₂: 70.906 g/mol,
N₂: 28.0 g/mol,
H₂: 2.0 g/mol.
- Hence, the smallest molecular mass of the gas, the fastest rate of effusion.
So, the order from the slowest to the fastest rate of effusion is:
<em>Chlorine, oxygen, nitrogen, hydrogen.</em>
Answer:
Explanation:
Groundwater is stored in the open spaces within rocks and within unconsolidated sediments. Rocks and sediments near the surface are under less pressure than those at significant depth and therefore tend to have more open space. For this reason, and because it’s expensive to drill deep wells, most of the groundwater that is accessed by individual users is within the first 100 m of the surface. Some municipal, agricultural, and industrial groundwater users get their water from greater depth, but deeper groundwater tends to be of lower quality than shallow groundwater, so there is a limit as to how deep we can go.
