The correct Answer is:
To analyze the given statements regarding the entropy of an egg after boiling and the denaturation of proteins, we will evaluate each statement step by step. ### Step 1: Evaluate Statement 1 **Statement 1:** "Entropy of egg increases after boiling." - Before boiling, the egg consists of liquid components (the egg white and yolk). In this state, the molecules are more disordered and have higher entropy due to their liquid nature. - After boiling, the egg solidifies. In the solid state, the molecules are more ordered and less random, leading to a decrease in entropy. **Conclusion for Statement 1:** This statement is **false** because the entropy of the egg actually decreases after boiling. ### Step 2: Evaluate Statement 2 **Statement 2:** "As boiling causes the denaturation of proteins." - Boiling an egg leads to the denaturation of proteins. Denaturation is a process where the three-dimensional structure of proteins is altered, resulting in the loss of their biological activity. - This occurs because the heat disrupts the weak bonds (like hydrogen bonds) that maintain the protein structure, causing the proteins to unfold and aggregate. **Conclusion for Statement 2:** This statement is **true** because boiling does indeed cause the denaturation of proteins in the egg. ### Final Conclusion - **Statement 1:** False (entropy decreases after boiling). - **Statement 2:** True (boiling causes denaturation of proteins). ### Answer Option Based on the evaluations: - **Option D:** Statement 1 is false, Statement 2 is true.
