Introduction:
Thermodynamics represents the branch of science that involves the study of the relationship between heat and other energy forms, and by extension, the relationships between all energy forms. Investigations of the relationship, in the nineteenth century, between heat and mechanic work discover a set of rules, called laws of thermodynamics that involves the descriptions of energy transformations.

- The acceptable daily intake (ADI) of the additive E100 = 20 mg per kg of bodyweight per day. The maximum usable dose for E100 in "water-based flavoured drinks, energy-reduced or no added sugar" is 400mg/litre of drink. What volume of a fizzy drink containing the maximum usable dose of E100 would a 80 kg adult need to drink to equal the ADI of E100?

Why is this statement true in terms of entropy?arrow_forwardendothermic reactions absorb energy from their surroundings. If chemicals for an endothermic reaction are added to water, the water's temperature drops (the water gets colder! Ever use a first aid "cold pack", where you squeeze a pouch to release chemicals inside and the pouch becomes ice cold? That's an endothermic reaction!) For endothermic reactions, when you use the equation Q = m x C x (delta T), the "Q" is a negative number because the water LOSES energy. The answer is negative because the water temperature drops, the CHANGE registered on the thermometer is negative. Type a negative number to answer this question: if your water starts at 19 degrees Celsius, and a couple of minutes after adding chemicals the water temperature becomes 15 degrees, the value of "delta T" is degrees Celsius. *arrow_forward
