Which statement best describes the law of conservation of energy?

Chemistry
1 answer:
nalin [4]3 years ago
8 0
Correct answer - B (The total amount of energy does not change during an energy conversion.)

Why? - The total amount of energy and matter in the Universe remains constant, merely changing from one form to another. The First Law of Thermodynamics (Conservation) states that energy is always conserved, it cannot be created or destroyed. In essence, energy can be converted from one form into another.

A gaseous system undergoes a change in temperature and volume. What is the entropy change for a particle in this system if the f
deff fn [24]

Explanation:

Entropy means the amount of randomness present within the molecules of the body of a substance.

Relation between entropy and microstate is as follows.

           S = K_{b} \times ln \Omega

where,      S = entropy

             K_{b} = Boltzmann constant

             \Omega = number of microstates

This equation only holds good when the system is neither losing or gaining energy. And, in the given situation we assume that the system is neither gaining or losing energy.

Also, let us assume that \Omega = 1, and \Omega' = 0.833

Therefore, change in entropy will be calculated as follows.

     \Delta S = K_{b} \times ln \Omega' - K_{b} \times ln \Omega

                 = 1.38 \times 10^{-23} \times ln(0.833) - 1.38 \times 10^{-23} \times \times ln(1)

                 = 1.38 \times 10^{-23} \times (-0.182)

                 = -0.251 \times 10^{-23}

or,             = -2.51 \times 10^{-24}

Thus, we can conclude that the entropy change for a particle in the given system is -2.51 \times 10^{-24} J/K particle.

When the temperature of a gas changes, it's volume decreases from 12 cm3 to 7 cm3 if the final temperature is measured to be 18°
ElenaW [278]

Answer:

The initial temperature is 499 K

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

initial volume = 12 cm3 = 12 mL

Final volume = 7 cm3 = 7mL

The final temperature = 18 °C = 291 K

Step 2: Calculate the initial temperature

V1/T1 = V2/T2

⇒with V1 = the initial volume = 0.012 L

⇒with T1 = the initial volume = ?

⇒with V2 = the final volume 0.007 L

⇒with T2 = The final temperature = 291 K

0.012 / T1 = 0.007 / 291

0.012/T1 = 2.4055*10^-5

T1 = 0.012/2.4055*10^-5

T1 = 499 K

The initial temperature is 499 K

Write a detailed paragraph about how a volcano is formed. be sure to
victus00 [196]

Answer:

okay but give me brainliest

Explanation:

A volcano is formed when hot molten rock, ash and gases escape from an opening in the Earth's surface. The molten rock and ash solidify as they cool, forming the distinctive volcano shape shown here. As a volcano erupts, it spills lava that flows downslope. Volcanic flows are called lahars.

The electronegativity of the element affects all of the following except a- type of bond it forms with other elements b- the boi
seraphim [82]

The electronegativity of the element affects the ability of its compounds to dissolve in different solvents.

<h3>What is the meaning of electronegativity?</h3>

Electronegativity is a measure of an atom's ability to attract shared electrons to itself.

Polar bonds have a positive and negative side to them, and therefore can attract water dipoles and dissolve in water.

If the polarities of the solvent and solute match (both are polar or both are nonpolar), then the solute will probably dissolve.

If the polarities of the solvent and solute are different (one is polar, one is nonpolar), the solute probably won't dissolve.

Hence, option D is correct.
