Question

The second law of thermodynamics says that the total amount of entropy, or randomness, in the universe cannot decrease. However, we see all around us objects that become more ordered-for example, the development of a biological organism or water that freezes. The decrease in entropy, or randomness, in such cases does not violate the second law because

Group of answer choices:

- there is always a greater increase in entropy somewhere else.

- energy must be added.

- energy must be removed.

- water and living things do not have entropy.

Answer 1

Correct option is:- there is always a greater increase in entropy somewhere else.

Let us consider a example:

EXAMPLE:- Since we know that our earth and universe is maturing by the time from its inital stage.There is temperature differences arose,by this we created more oppourtunities for work.

Most of our stars are getting cooling down from their usually births,So there is disordered entropy is present,but at the same time there may be some stars which are getting stabalised.

So their is always increase in entropy for irreversible processes.

Rest of the options are not sutable because;

2.supose that if our earth is insulated then there is no change in enrgy can be done

3.it cant possible to energy be removed,by law of conservation of energy

4.No,Water and living things have also some degree of randomness or entropy.
