Question

The second law of thermodynamics leads us to conclude that

the total energy of the universe is constant.

disorder in the universe is increasing with the passage of time.

it is theoretically possible to convert heat into work with 100% efficiency.

the average temperature of the universe is increasing with the passage of time.

the total energy of the universe is constant.

disorder in the universe is increasing with the passage of time.

it is theoretically possible to convert heat into work with 100% efficiency.

the average temperature of the universe is increasing with the passage of time.

Explanation / Answer

disorder in the universe is increasing with the passage of time

This is the right answer, since molecules in a hot body are more disorganized than molecules in a cold body, more disordered molecules tend to travel to the cold body(entropy).

disorder in the universe is increasing with the passage of time
