In the spirit of becoming a more productive, data-driven marketer, I scoured the internet for the best online resources for learning Excel.

9/25/2023 0 Comments Increase in entropy![]() Heat makes molecules more energetic and move a lot, so a lot of chaos happens in terms. ![]() Entropy is one of the driving forces in nature, as all things that go into motion will not return to a perfect state again (barring intelligent energy), and contribute to disorder. If ∆S is negative, then the negative signs (from the subtraction and the sign of ∆S) will cancel out, and so as T∆S gets bigger, ∆G will get more positive. Direct link to Isaac Nykamp's post Entropy is one of the dri. T is always positive, so if ∆S is positive then a bigger T∆S will make ∆G more negative (since we subtract T∆S). As T increases, the T∆S component gets bigger. However, when a system is not isolated, but is in contact with its surrounding, then the entropy of this open system may decrease, with a necessary compensating increase in the entropy of the surroundings. Since entropy increases logarithmically with the number of microstates, the most probable distribution is therefore the one of greatest entropy. ∆H is still positive and ∆S is still whatever sign you figured out above. The entropy of isolated systems cannot decrease. Conversely, processes that reduce the number of microstates in the system, f < i, yield a decrease in system entropy, S < 0. Since ∆H and ∆S don't change significantly with temperature (given in the question), we can assume that they keep the same signs and values: i.e. For processes involving an increase in the number of microstates of the system, f > i, the entropy of the system increases, S > 0. 5 Historically, the second law was an empirical finding that was accepted as an axiom of thermodynamic theory. Left to its own devices, life will always become less structured. It is the natural tendency of things to lose order. Entropy Chemical and physical changes in a system may be accompanied by either an increase or a decrease in the disorder of the system, corresponding to an increase in entropy (S > 0) or a decrease in entropy (S < 0), respectively. If ∆G is negative (from the question), is the reaction spontaneous or non-spontaneous?Ģ) Let's use ∆G = ∆H - T∆S again. An increase in the combined entropy of system and surroundings accounts for the irreversibility of natural processes, often referred to in the concept of the arrow of time. Here's the crucial thing about entropy: it always increases over time. From these values, we can know for certain whether ∆S is positive or negative (hint: remember that we are subtracting ∆G!).ġ) Knowing the sign of ∆G is enough to say whether the reaction is spontaneous or not under these conditions. Temperature is always positive (in Kelvin). Solution Recognizing that this is an isothermal process, we can use Equation 5.4.1 S n R ln ( V 2 V 1) ( 1.00 m o l) ( 8.314 J / ( m o l K)) ln ( 44.8 L 22.4 L) 5. We know (from the question) that ∆G is negative and that ∆H is positive. Calculate the entropy change for 1.00 mol of an ideal gas expanding isothermally from a volume of 24.4 L to 48.8 L. This looks like a homework question, so I'll give you some hints to get you on the riht path rather than answering directly.ģ) We know that ∆G = ∆H - T∆S. 9/25/2023 0 Comments Google earth pro mgrs![]() Map showing active fault traces within the Hayward Fault Zone, including a virtual tour of the Hayward fault in the east San Francisco Bay Region that can be viewed in the Google Earth.

Presentation visuals build emotional bridges with the audience Images make viewers feel things that words cannot and give presenters a way to connect with their audience on a more visceral level.”ģ. “They say a picture is worth a thousand words-it’s cliché but true. According to a study conducted at the Wharton School of Business, 67 percent of audience members were more convinced by the content of a verbal presentation with accompanying visuals versus 50 percent with a verbal-only presentation. Infographics make data-heavy presentations more digestible-breaking statistics and other figures or timelines into bite-sized chunks. Not everyone computes information at the same speed. ![]() Presentation visuals make complex ideas easier to understand This can be especially effective when embedding picture polls, or visuals that require audience members to pull out their phones and interact with the content you’ve presented. Think of each new visual or animation as little shots of adrenaline-capturing the waning attention of an audience and re-energizing the room. They spark interest when the brain is feeling fatigued, making it easier to receive and process complex information. Interesting visual aids can help you do that. (A Ben Stein soundalike drolling on about duality quantum algorithms? Godspeed.) That’s why so many experts insist on capping lectures at 15 to 20 minutes or mixing up the format with 20-minute blocks.

Maine Coons are gentle giants known for their loyalty and intelligence. They derive their name from their extraordinary temperaments. Ragdolls are relaxed affectionate cats who like to be cuddled and held. The 13 cat breeds known for being friendly are: 13 Friendly Cat Breedsĭifferent breeds of cats do show different temperaments. Abyssinian cats show ticked tabby patterning very commonly. Tabby coloring is also the most common coat color in mixed breed cats. Although tabby coloring is most common in certain breeds is does occur in most breeds of domestic cats. Tabby coats are more common in certain cat breeds such as Abyssinians and Maine Coons. So, reliable positive exposure will result in friendlier cats. Similarly, negative interactions will result in behavior that avoids human interaction. It is much harder to teach an older cat to interact with people. Kittens between the ages of 3 and 9 weeks must have positive exposure to humans to learn that human interaction is pleasant. How Does the Environment Affect a Cat’s Behavior? Kittens observing their mother being friendly to people are more likely to learn that being with people is pleasant and desirable. Selective breeding has allowed breeders to establish standardized breed characteristics. If the parents are friendly, then there is a more substantial likelihood that their offspring will be social. Genetics influence certain personality traits. Do Cats Get Their Personality from Their Parents? The two big factors that determine a cat’s personality are genetics and environment. 2 Factors That Determine a Cat’s Personality A critical assessment of a cat’s behavior will give a far more accurate indication of temperament than basing the choice on the cat’s coat color or pattern. When choosing a cat, evaluate it based on how it responds and interacts with people and other animals. Each cat has a unique personality and characteristics. The potential owner needs to assess prospective cats as unique individuals. Yes, individual cats have their own individual personalities, and this is not influenced by color or coat pattern. For example, some people believe tabby cats are friendly, and some think they are unfriendly – it all depends on perception. This perception is mainly based on superstition, urban legend, and individual experience with individual cats. There is, however, truth in the fact that many people perceive coat color to influence temperament. There is no conclusive evidence linking the cat’s personality to the cat’s coat color. There have been several scientific studies completed on whether coat color influences the personality of a cat. Read on! Do Cat Colors Affect Personality? Tabbies are beautiful cats, and like most cats, they can make people happy. Learn more in this article on why people believe tabby cats are so friendly.
