The exhaust from car engines spreads throughout our atmosphere and adds to pollution. What is this an example of? A.

An increase in enthalpy

B.

An increase in thrust

C.

An increase in thermodynamics

D.

An increase in entropy

(D is the correct answer!)

When exhaust from car engines spreads throughout our atmosphere and adds to pollution then it is an example of increase in entropy.

Explanation:

A degree of randomness in the molecules of a substance is called entropy.

When exhaust from car engines spreads throughout our atmosphere then it means the molecules are moving at a faster speed due to which they spread into the atmosphere rapidly.

This means that the entropy of exhaust is increasing.

Thus, we can conclude that when exhaust from car engines spreads throughout our atmosphere and adds to pollution then it is an example of increase in entropy.

An increase in entropy

answer: the rate of diffusion increases with increase in temperature.

increase in temperature, increases the molecular/particles speed (kinetic energy. diffusion means movement of particles through the material.

generally, the heavier the particle the more it interacts with the environment and more the temperature matters. so higher temperature results in higher diffusion.

in chemistry, a solution’s concentration is how much of a dissolvable substance, known as a solute, is mixed with another substance, called the solvent. the standard formula is c = m/v, where c is the concentration, m is the mass of the solute dissolved, and v is the total volume
