Concept explainers

Energy transfer
The flow of energy from one region to another region is referred to as energy transfer. Since energy is quantitative; it must be transferred to a body or a material to work or to heat the system.
Molar Specific Heat
Heat capacity is the amount of heat energy absorbed or released by a chemical substance per the change in temperature of that substance. The change in heat is also called enthalpy. The SI unit of heat capacity is Joules per Kelvin, which is (J K-1)
Thermal Properties of Matter
Thermal energy is described as one of the form of heat energy which flows from one body of higher temperature to the other with the lower temperature when these two bodies are placed in contact to each other. Heat is described as the form of energy which…

Answer to Problem 5STP

Option B: Second law of thermodynamics.

Explanation of Solution

Introduction:

The second law of thermodynamics states the direction of the flow of energy. It also states that the energy will flow in one direction only.

The second law of thermodynamics deals with the spontaneously follow of the energy from high concentrated region to low concentrated region. And this direction of flow is irreversible. For example, the heat always transfers from high energy level to low energy level. The water also flows from the region of high potential energy to the region of low potential energy.

Conclusion:

Hence, the second law of thermodynamics states the flow of energy from high concentration to low concentration.
