AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around whether heat is required for various processes. The combustion of glucose (C6H12O6) with oxygen produces carbon dioxide, water, and heat, indicating that heat is involved. Making ice cubes and the formation of snow in clouds do not require heat; instead, they occur in cooler conditions. Evaporation of water requires heat to transition from liquid to gas, while a candle flame generates heat through combustion. Overall, the necessity of heat varies among the processes discussed.

Indicate if the following processes requires heat for the process to
occur.

a. C6H12O6 + O2---> CO2 + H2O + Heat
b. Making ice cubes
c. Formation of snow in clouds
d. Evaporation of water
e. A candle flame

i think they all require heat, but I am not sure
someone please help!

Think! Some require heat and some don't. For example, to make ice do you put the cubes in the freezer or in the oven?
 
im pretty sure about most of them,
but for formation of snow in clouds, i don't know.
 
I don't get how to argue it. i can prove: evolution is the ability to adapt, whether it's progression or regression from some point of view, so if evolution is not constant then animal generations couldn`t stay alive for a big amount of time because when climate is changing this generations die. but they dont. so evolution is constant. but its not an argument, right? how to fing arguments when i only prove it.. analytically, i guess it called that (this is indirectly related to biology, im...
