Answer:

Positive: a and b

Negative: c

Explanation:

The entropy (S) is the measure of the randomness of the system, and it intends to increase. The randomness can be determined by the energy of the molecules, their velocity and how distance they are between the other molecules.

When the entropy increases, ΔS is positive, when the entropy decreases, ΔS is negative. So, when gasoline mix with air in a car engine, the process intends to continue, the randomness increases and ΔS is positive. When hot air expands, the distance between the molecules increases, so ΔS is positive.

But, when humidity condenses, the molecules stay closer, so there's a decrease in the randomness, then ΔS is negative.

A rigid tank that contains 2 kg of N2 at 25°C and 550 kPa is connected to another rigid tank that contains 4 kg of O2 at 25°C an
koban [17]

Answer:

The volume in the first tank = 0.32 m^{3}

The volume in the second tank = 2.066 m^{3}

The  final pressure of the mixture = 203.64 K pa

Explanation:

<u>First Tank </u>

Mass = 2 kg

Pressure = 550 k pa

Temperature = 25 °c = 298 K

Gas constant for nitrogen = 0.297 \frac{KJ}{Kg K}

From the ideal gas equation

P V = m R T

550 × V = 2 × 0.297 × 298

V = 0.32 m^{3}

This is the volume in the first tank.

<u>Second tank</u>

Mass =  4 kg

Pressure = 150 K pa

Temperature = 25 °c = 298 K

Gas constant for oxygen = 0.26  \frac{KJ}{Kg K}

From the ideal gas equation

P V = m R T

150 × V = 4 × 0.26 × 298

V = 2.066 m^{3}

This is the volume in the second tank.

This is the iso thermal mixing. i.e.

P_{3} V_{3}  = P_{1} V_{1} + P_{2} V_{2} ----- (1)

V_{3}  = V_{1}  + V_{2}

V_{3}  = 0.32 + 2.066

V_{3}  = 2.386 \ m^{3}

Put this value in equation (1)

P_{3} × 2.386 =  550 × 0.32 + 150 × 2.066

P_{3} = 203.64 K pa

Therefore the  final pressure of the mixture = 203.64 K pa

I will give brainliest (8th grade)
lesya [120]

Answer:

2.The cooling effects of more indirect sunlight cause autumn and winter. Because of the Earth's approximately 23.5º tilt, the seasons in the Northern and Southern Hemispheres are reversed, about six months apart from each other.

3.In North America, around June 21, Earth tilts on its axis toward the Sun. That means that at the northern summer solstice, North America will experience summer, and winter will start in in the Southern Hemisphere. Winter Solstice. Around December 21, the Northern Hemisphere tilts the farthest away from the Sun.
