A Carnot air conditioner takes energy from the thermal energy of a room at 61°F and transfers it as heat to the outdoors, which is at 98°F. For each joule of electric energy required to operate the air conditioner, how many joules are removed from the room?

The law of entropy can also be called the law of increasing disorder, but this law seems to contradict the existence of living organisms that are able to organize chemicals into organic molecules. prepare for a class debate on the validity of the following arguments: a. living things are not subject to the laws of thermodynamics. b. the increase in the universe's entropy due to life processes is greater than the decrease in entropy within a living organism.
