Question

How are the second law of thermodynamics and pollution related

Answer 1

Since the Second Law of Thermodynamics states that over time, differences in temperature, pressure, and chemical potential compensate for each other, energy is required for heating and cooling. The fuel used in non-renewable energy sources (coal, nuclear) creates pollution

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Thermodynamics is the study of heat and energy and the second law of thermodynamics describes the limit of and capabilities of the universe.

As per law " the total entropy of an isolated system can never increase in time".

This law flashes light on degeneration, inefficiency and decay. It describes the phenomena of what we produce waste and is irreversible process in the universe and thus is our desolate fate.

It describes that once waste has been created, it cannot disappear. It will be in existence. This creates pollution.

Hence in this way the second law of thermodynamics and pollution is related.
