Temperature will be increase
What happens to iodine at room temperature?
nothing
What happens to a quartz when its heated?
It rises in temperature.
What happens to soda if temperature decreases?
It gets colder.
What happens to the volume of mercury as the temperature increases?
The volume increases, which is why the mercury in a thermometer rises as the temperature increases.
Is it possible to attain an efficiency of 100 percent in heat engines?
The maximum efficiency of the carnot engine only depends on two factors: 1 - The temperature of the hot reservoir (TH) 2 - The temperature of the cold reservoir (TC) And is given by (TH - TC) / TH « or » 1 - TC / TH So by that we can see the maximum efficiency (100%) would be when the difference of temperatures between the two reservoirs is infinite.
What happens when a donated kidney is rejected?
The receiver probably dies.
What happens if scientists detect biased data?
The study is rejected.
What to do if I get rejected by a girl?
Cope. It happens, and it probably won't be the last time.
What happens if you do not replace the thermostat?
Not having a thermostat fitted will result in the engine running much cooler, usually accompanied by a loss of efficiency and performance as the engine won't be able to reach its optimum running temperature.
What happens to rejected horses?
They can be sent to shelters, glue factories, or put down.

Does the temperature drop when surroundings lose energy?
The short answer: theoretically no but actually yes. Generally when chemists talk about 'surroundings' they mean a heat reservoir, which is a very important concept in thermodynamics. A heat reservoir has no properties other than temperature. It is assumed to be infinitely, or at least extremely big; it has so much energy that you can put in or take out as much energy as you want without changing the temperature. We also often assume that our system in in perfect thermal equilibrium with the reservoir i.e. it maintains its temperature to be the same as the reservoir. Of course, in reality this is not quite true. The universe is big enough so that in the long run you won't change its temperature by taking or giving energy to it. However, the heat is not perfectly conducted away; it's hotter close to a fire, or colder close to a melting ice cube. But as often happens in science taking account of this is very difficult, so we generally use the simplified version because usually it's good enough.

Efficiency will be reduced.Have to intake much glucose.
