Under what conditions could some exothermic (δh< 0) reactions be nonspontaneous (δg> 0)?
a. the products have greater potential energy than the reactants.
b. the products and reactants have equal entropy.
c. the overall reaction reduces entropy (products have less entropy than reactants).
d. the overall reaction results in an increase in entropy (products have greater entropy than reactants)

c. The overall reaction reduces entropy (products have less entropy than reactants).

Explanation:

The free energy change (delta G) for a reaction must have a negative value to allow the reaction to occur spontaneously. Free energy change depends on entropy (S) and enthalpy (H) of the reaction.

ΔG = ΔH  - T ΔS. If a reaction has positive enthalpy change and an overall increase in entropy, the reaction has negative free energy change and occurs spontaneously. However, if a reaction with positive enthalpy change has an overall reduction in entropy, the reaction will have a positive value of free energy change and cannot occur spontaneously.

correct answer: understand the different control methods available

integrated pest management is an strategy that is based on the ecosystem and try to prevent the pest and the damage caused by them by applying combination of technique like habitat manipulation, biological control and use of resistant varieties.

the main aim of the integrated pest management is not to completely eliminate the pest but to strengthen the ecosystem so that conditions are favorable for plants and unfavorable for pests.

the water is warmed up by the sun and then it evaporates into the atmosphere. the sunlight warms the water by its heat. water is then cooled down and condensation takes place. the water then finally returns back to the earth by the process of precipitation in the form of rain or ice.
