List two chemicals that you think have low entropy and two that have high entropy. Explain the reason for your choices.

Answers

Answer 1
Answer:

The Two substance that has low entropy are diamond and graphite while the other two chemical/substance that has high entropy are Noble gases(helium, neon, etc) and oxygen.

Generally, entropy measures the disorder or randomness in a system. High entropy implies randomness or high disorder while low entropy indicates orderliness.High entropy system, more energy is lost to the environment/surroundings.

Examples of chemicals or substances with high and low entropy are listed below

Low entropy

1.Diamond: This is a carbon crystalline substance. The makeup follows a well-structured pattern.  The particles are tightly packed thereby giving them a low entropy value. This means they are well ordered.

2.Graphite: This is another carbon substance but they have higher entropy than diamond but generally possess a low entropy.

High entropy

Generally, gaseous substances possess high entropy, and this includes

1. Nobles gases(helium, argon, Neon, etc); These gases when placed in a closed system they exhibit high entropy. They act disorderly. They move randomly and tend to occupy every space available in the system.

2. Oxygen gas: This is another gaseous substance that exhibits disorderliness when placed in a closed system.  

The arrangement of the particles and cohesive forces holding the individual particles of the substance together play a large role in determining its entropy.

Answer 2
Answer:

Here are two examples:  

Low entropy: -A carbon crystal structure at a temperature near absolute zero,              

                      -A chunk of ice has low entropy

High entropy:- A box filled with two elements in their gaseous state, both of which are noble gases.

                       - Burning wood illustrates an increase in entropy  heated very          high temperature, with the gas "not very dense".

 The entropy of a chemical system depends on its energy and its multiplicity,  or how many different ways its atoms and molecules can be arranged. By adding new arrangements or energy, you increase entropy.  A diamond, for example, has low entropy because the crystal structure fixes its atoms in place. If you smash the diamond,  entropy increases because the original, single crystal becomes hundreds of tiny pieces that can be rearranged in many ways.

Burning wood illustrates an increase in entropy as The wood starts as a single, solid object.  Fire consumes the wood, releasing energy along with carbon dioxide and water vapor, and leaving a pile of ashes.  The atoms in the vapors and gases vibrate energetically, spreading out in an ever-expanding cloud.  Dissolving salt in water is another example of increasing entropy; the salt begins as fixed crystals,  and the water splits away the sodium and chlorine atoms in the salt into separate ions, moving freely with water molecules.  A chunk of ice has low entropy because its molecules are frozen in place.  Add heat energy and entropy increases. The ice turns to water, and its molecules agitate like popcorn in a popper.

Please select the word from the list that best fits the definitionwhere the energy in food is stored until it is released

Answers

Answer:

The correct answer is - Mitochondria.

Explanation:

Mitochondria is the location that stores the energy in food until it is released. It is the cellular organelle that is the place where the cellular respiration process takes place.

In this organelle, the stored food is converted into a usable energy form, ATP. Mitochondria is also known as the powerhouse of the cell as it converts and releases the energy from the stored sugar or food.

Thus, the correct answer is - mitochondria.

The standard anatomical position refers tothe points of reference to compare and describe parts of the body. 1.B) Arms at the sides/2.E) Eyes Facing forward/3.A) Erect head/4.C)Feet Flat on the floor/5. D) Body Level

---------------------------

There is a standard anatomical position to describe an individual's body and general anatomy.  

 

The individual's position must be standard to allow comparisons with minimal variation while comparing or describing the anatomy and the position of different structures.  

 

The standard anatomical position has different reference points, such as a straight head or the palms of the hands facing forward.

In the exposed example, the reference points are

1.  B) Arms at the sides

2. E) Eyes Facing forward

3. A) Erect head  

4. C) Feet Flat on the floor

5. D) Body Level

In general, embolism occur: a. in the vessel elements and tracheids after turgor loss point through air-seeding across pit membranes b. in vessel elements only, after turgor loss point through air-seeding across pit membranes c. in the vessel elements and tracheids after turgor loss point through air-seeding across plasmodesmata d. in vessel elements only, after turgor loss point through air-seeding across plasmodesmata

Answers

Answer:

b. in vessel elements only, after turgor loss point through air-seeding across pit membranes

Explanation:

As in humans, embolism can happen in plants. In the case of plants, embolism occurs only in the elements of the vessel, after the point of loss of the turgor through the propagation of air through the membranes of the pits, in other words, the embolism occurs when there is air filling the empty spaces of the xylem (element of vase), creating air bubbles.

These air bubbles block the xylem's work in transporting water from the root to the other parts of the plants, that is, it reduces the plant's ability to absorb water from the soil, thus preventing the plant from carrying out not only photosynthesis, but numerous metabolic processes essential for your body to survive.
