If you place a teaspoon of sugar in the bottom of a glass of water, it will dissolve completely over time. left longer, eventually the water will disap- pear and the sugar crystals will reappear. explain these observations in terms of entropy.

Explanation:

It is known that entropy is the degree of randomness. More is the speed of molecules of a substance more will be its degree of randomness. Hence, more will be the entropy of substance.

When we place a teaspoon of sugar in the bottom of a glass of water, it will dissolve completely over time. This dissolution will cause the sugar molecules to spread out in the water.

And, with time water will evaporate and this will lead to the formation of crystals again. This reappearance of sugar crystals will cause a decrease in entropy as there occurs decrease in randomness.

But this decrease in entropy is balanced by increase in the entropy of water molecules as they are evaporating.

bacteria that live on the ocean floor are sustained by phytoplankton. phytoplankton, microscopic marine photosynthetic organisms, have a vastly significant role to play not only in the marine food web of which they’re part of, but also on a more global scale. despite their infinitely small size in comparison to other marine organisms, these tiny creatures occupy an immensely important ecological niche: they are the foundation of the marine food web, and as primary producers, play key roles in supporting all other organisms in the marine environment, as well as in the regulation of the earth’s climate through the sequestration of carbon, oxygen production, and other related processes. phytoplankton account for roughly half of all global primary productivity; therefore, their significance extends far beyond the marine environment alone. there is an intriguing sense of irony in the realization that these tiny living beings that often live out their existence unnoticed and undetected by the rest of the world, have such a far-reaching impact on the lives of virtually all other living organisms on the planet, particularly on those in the marine environment. the world that we have become accustomed to has been and is continuously shaped by the workings of these miniscule yet vital “plants of the sea”.

hope this !

in order to follow the instructions and complete the statements, i need to use data from table c of your student guide. can you think of a way to let me see your student guide for a while ? i can't answer the question without the data in table c.
