2. You are baking Halloween cookies
with a young child, 6-8 years old, you plan to make pumpkin shaped cookies. You
have the child adding the food coloring to the dough as it mixes. To make the
orange color she/he needs to add both red and yellow dye. She/he has added
plenty of red and picks up the next bottle of dye and starts adding it but it
was green instead of yellow. The cookie dough is now brown instead of orange.
The child starts to cry and insists you take the green dye back out. I
understand that this is not the time for a chemistry lesson but maybe later in
the day you could explain the principle of why it was impossible to reverse the
mixing process.
Write a short essay in simple, natural
language (no scientific jargon) that explains why this is an irreversible
process. You may use an analogy that you developed as well. If you do use an
analogy make sure it is clear how the analogy explains the principle (3-5
paragraphs no more than 700 words use at least one reference appa style)
