Sublimation of solid iodine to gas involves a phase change from solid to gas, which has a significant increase in disorder, thus the largest increase in entropy.

Dissolving salt in water increases the number of particles in solution, leading to a significant increase in entropy.

Auxins influence various processes including phototropism, gravitropism, and apical dominance.

Free expansion of gas is an irreversible process that leads to an increase in entropy as the gas expands into a vacuum.

Free expansion is an irreversible process as it occurs without any external pressure acting on the gas.

An isochoric process is one that occurs at constant volume.

An isothermal process for an ideal gas is characterized by the condition that the temperature remains constant during the expansion or compression.

Allowing a gas to expand slowly while maintaining constant temperature is an isothermal process.

A static process does not involve any change in state variables, hence it is not considered a thermodynamic process.

Photosynthesis is not directly influenced by auxins; they mainly affect growth and development processes.

All the listed processes are governed by the First Law of Thermodynamics, so the answer is 'None of the above'.

Fruit ripening is primarily influenced by ethylene, not auxins.

Photosynthesis is a biochemical process that is not directly influenced by plant hormones.

Auxins are primarily responsible for phototropism, the growth of plants towards light.

A spontaneous process at constant temperature and pressure is characterized by an increase in entropy.

Synthetic rubber is produced through polymerization of monomers such as butadiene and styrene.

Glycolysis is the first step in aerobic respiration, where glucose is broken down to produce energy.

During expiration, the diaphragm relaxes and the intercostal muscles also relax, leading to a decrease in thoracic volume and expulsion of air from the lungs.

Photolysis of water occurs during the light-dependent reactions, producing oxygen and electrons.

Photosynthesis occurs in chloroplasts, where light energy is converted into chemical energy in the form of glucose.

Mitochondria are known as the powerhouses of the cell, where cellular respiration occurs to produce ATP.

DNA replication occurs in the nucleus, where the cell's genetic material is housed.

The light-dependent reactions of photosynthesis occur in the thylakoid membranes.

The light-dependent reactions of photosynthesis occur in the thylakoid membranes.

Isobaric heating increases the temperature and volume of the gas, leading to an increase in entropy.

Fortran, developed in the 1950s, was one of the earliest high-level programming languages, predating COBOL, LISP, and C.

Covalent network solids are typically brittle due to the strong covalent bonds that do not allow for easy deformation.

Ionic solids are typically brittle due to the strong electrostatic forces between the ions, which cause them to shatter when force is applied.

Liquids have a definite volume but take the shape of their container.

Liquids are generally incompressible, so compressibility is not a property associated with them.
