Work is being conducted on buildings that repair themselves when damaged. mycelia from fungi are being used. does this violate the second law of thermodyn o it's violating the first law, not the second law. o no, because entropy only applies to natural systems, not artificial ones. yes, since they can only fall apart, not fix themselves, without human . o no, since it's not an isolated system so that the fungi can maybe grow to fix it.

Look at the reaction below: ca(hco3)2 --> caco3 + co2 + h2o first, balance the reaction. once balanced, use dimensional analysis or another method to find out how many moles of carbon dioxide will be produced if we start with 16.5 moles of calcium bicarbonate (calcium hydrogen carbonate). = mol of co2 number needs to be reported to three significant figures.

Iknow the answer to 13 is b and 14 is d. i just need to know why the correct answers are correct

Hot air balloons float in the air because of the difference in density between cold and hot air. in this problem, you will estimate the minimum temperature the gas inside the balloon needs to be, for it to take off. to do this, use the following variables and make these assumptions: the combined weight of the pilot basket together with that of the balloon fabric and other equipment is w. the volume of the hot air inside the balloon when it is inflated is v. the absolute temperature of the hot air at the bottom of the balloon is th (where th> tc). the absolute temperature of the cold air outside the balloon is tc and its density is ďc. the balloon is open at the bottom, so that the pressure inside and outside the balloon is the same. as always, treat air as an ideal gas. use g for the magnitude of the acceleration due to gravity.
