The region of the universe outside the system being studied is known as the?
Surroundings
What is the name of all of space and everything in it?
Universe
What does astrobiology deal with?
Astrobiology deals with the origin of the universe, the universe's composition, future of life in the universe, distribution of the universe, etc.
Is the universe in space or is space in the universe?
The universe IS space, plus everything that's in it.
What is an adjective from the word universe?
Universal (pervading the universe) or cosmic(relating to the universe).
Why is it important to define the system and the surroundings?
You can define a system as part of the universe on which you focus your attention. The surroundings include everything else in the universe. In thermochemical experiments, you can consider the region in the immediate vicinity of the system as the surroundings. A major goal of thermochemistry is to examine the flow of heat between the system and its surroundings.
What is Everything in the universe other than the system?
surroundings <3
The region of the universe outside the system being studied is known as the?
Surroundings
You say all systems try to go to their stabler state and the Entropy of Universe is increasing how do you justify both the statements?
The state of maximum entropy of a system is the state when all the energy available to a system to do work is dissipated and is evened out with that of the surroundings. Therefore, the ability to do work relates to the difference in energy levels between a system and its surroundings. A system will carry on working for as long as there is energy difference between it and its surroundings. When the energy of a system and its surroundings evens out, the system ceases to function. All functional systems try, but fail to reach that equilibrium. The Universe as a system is no different. However, the energy which causes the universe to expand -- termed dark energy, which source remains unknown, cause the Universe to do work on its surroundings. Therefore, as a system, the Universe must receive or must have received its energy from its surroundings.
The region of the universe outside the system being studied is known as?
the term is "the surroundings" or "the environment"
What is an open system in enviromental science?
An open system is one that exchanges both matter and energy with its surroundings. For example, suppose Earth is a system and the universe is its surroundings. Earth is an open system, since it can exchange both energy and matter with its surroundings.
What would happen if a black hole sucked in all the stars and surroundings?
If a black hole "sucked" in all the surroundings (The Universe) then it would be the term "Big Crunch" where all matter is returned to the state prior to the Big Bang.
Why is physical environment important?
The reason the physical environment is important is because it forms together the elements that performs the existence of the universe and the surroundings we live in.
What does the second law of thermodynamic say about entropy?
The entropy of the universe is increasing
What the system means in thermodynamics an explain how the system is related to the surroundings and the universe?
If a reaction (or let's just say an object(the system)) is exothermic, it releases heat(exo means exit) into the surroundings. Because the heat leaves the system, the temperature of the object decreases and the surrounding get hotter. Conversely, if a system (an object or reaction) is endothermic, the object absorbs heat, increasing its own temperature and taking in heat from the surroundings, making the surroundings drop in temperature. Also, the energy of the universe is constant, but the entropy (measure of chaos in the world) is increasing. This heat we spoke of, lost or gained, is energy in the form of heat. However, conservation of energy still holds true because the heat isn't completely lost or added, but rather just transferred to different systems and surroundings.
What will happen if the temperature of the surroundings is above 0 degrees?
It depends on the surroundings of what? Which 0 degrees - Fahrenheit, centigrade (Celsius) or Kelvin. There is nothing in the universe at or below 0 deg kelvin. Unless there is other intelligent life out there somewhere the coldest temperatures any where in the universe have been created here on earth. Above 0 degrees Fahrenheit salt water melts. Above 0 degrees centigrade (Celsius) pure water melts.
What is importance of science?
Science is the means to understand our surroundings. It helps us to learn about all the other creatures that live with us on Earth and in the universe. Basically, it helps us understand how and why things work.
