Answer:

The entropy change for a real, irreversible process is equal to zero.

The correct option is 'c'.

Explanation:

Lets look around all the given options -:

(a) the entropy change for a theoretical reversible process with the same initial and final states , since the entropy change is equal and opposite in reversible process , thus this option in not correct.

(b) equal to the entropy change for the same process performed reversibly ONLY if the process can be reversed at all. Since , the change is same as well as opposite too . Therefore , this statement is also not true .

(c) zero. This option is true because We generate more entropy in an irreversible process. Because no heat moves into or out of the surroundings during the procedure, the entropy change of the surroundings is zero.

(d) impossible to tell. This option is invalid , thus incorrect .

Hence , the correct option is 'c' that is zero.

Explain how research from the glomar challenger helped scientist support the theory of seafloor spreading?

Anna71 [15]

Drill cores from the ocean floor were dated and found to be very young compared to the age of the earth. This means the crust had to be formed recently, which can be explained by creation of crust at a spreading center.

In the third period of the periodic table sodium is followed by magnesium aluminum silicon and phosphorus which of these element

wariber [46]

Answer:
Phosphorous has the smallest atomic size.

Explanation:
As we know these elements belong to same period means there valence shell is the same. So moving from left to right along the period the shell number remains constant but the number of protons and electrons increases. So, due to increase in number of protons the nuclear charge increases hence attracts the valence electrons more effectively resulting in the decrease of atomic size.

Elements and their atomic radius are as follow,

Magnesium 0.160 nm

Aluminium 0.130 nm

Silicon 0.118 nm

Phosphorus 0.110 nm

An experiment reveals that 125.0 grams of an unknown metal increases in temperature from 22.0 oC to 43.6 oC upon absorbing 640 j

nydimaria [60]

Answer:

Cp = 0.237 J.g⁻¹.°C⁻¹

Explanation:

Amount of energy required by known amount of a substance to raise its temperature by one degree is called specific heat capacity.

The equation used for this problem is as follow,

Q = m Cp ΔT ----- (1)

Where;

Q = Heat = 640 J

m = mass = 125 g

Cp = Specific Heat Capacity = ??

ΔT = Change in Temperature = 43.6 °C - 22 °C = 21.6 °C

Solving eq. 1 for Cp,

Cp = Q / m ΔT

Putting values,

Cp = 640 J / (125 g × 21.6 °C)

Cp = 0.237 J.g⁻¹.°C⁻¹
