Is it criteria are or criteria is if there is more than one criteria?

The correct term is "criteria are" when referring to multiple criteria. "Criteria" is the plural form of "criterion," so it should always be treated as a plural noun in a sentence.


If dissolving calcium chloride in water is spontaneous what is the sign?

If dissolving calcium chloride in water is spontaneous, the sign of ΔG (Gibbs free energy) is negative.


How If a reaction occurs at 293 K that has a change in enthalpy of plus 125 kJ and a change in entropy of plus 35 J K then is the reaction spontaneous If so why If not why not?

A process will be spontaneous when the change in Gibbs free energy is negative.The change in Gibbs free energy can be calculated from the equation:G2 - G1 = H2 - H1 - T(S2 - S1)whereG is Gibbs free energyH is EnthalpyT is absolute temperature (when T is given in Kelvin or Rankine it is an absolute temperature)S is EntropyIn this caseH2 - H1 = 125 kJT = 293 KS2 - S1 = 35 J/K = 0.035 kJ/Kso doing the math you getG2 - G1 = 125 - 293(0.35) = 22.45 > 0 so the process is not spontaneous in the direction where enthalpy change and entropy change are being measured. The reverse process would be spontaneous.


What does rehearsed improvisation mean in drama?

Rehearsed improvisation is when you've made something up from the spot but repeated it many times so that it is perfected. Basically you rehearse the spontaneous improvisation that you made up. But because you've rehearsed it many times, it is no longer called 'spontaneous' but 'rehearsed'.

Can AND criteria determine fields selected for a query?

Criteria determine what records can be shown, not what fields can be shown, so the AND criteria cannot be used to determine what fields to select.
