Make this below paragraph more engaging and curious with proper grammar, please.Don't make it too long.. at most 1000 characters."Imagine a world where fire blazed and ice melted, their inner workings a baffling mystery. Then came Rudolf Clausius, a scientific visionary who dared to challenge the notion of a perfectly ordered universe. He introduced the concept of entropy – a measure of the hidden chaos constantly increasing within all systems.
His breakthrough was a spark. Building on this foundation, Josiah Gibbs unveiled "free energy" – the untapped potential to do work, like the hidden power within a battery, waiting to be harnessed.
Meanwhile, Ludwig Boltzmann, delving into the heart of entropy, exposed the universe's unsettling truth: it favors disorder. He connected this chaos to probability, revealing that the more disorganized a system becomes, the more likely it is to remain that way.
"
Given the description and formula, how can I go about the following:
One form of energy that exists in every system but is difficult to quantify is heat. Do we account for heat energy in a medium? If so, why do we need to?
Explain the mechanism by which heat energy can affect the phenomenon of resonance in sound waves propagating in air. (Hint: Think about what air is made of – atoms and molecules. Think about where energy can go in air that is different from the kinetic energy that atoms and molecules possess.)

- In solid, atoms are spaced closer than in liquid, as shown in Figure 2. Density of a substance is defined as its mass per unit volume. Therefore, density of a solid is typically greater than the density of liquid. However, this is not true for ice (solid water) and liquid water as the density of solid is less that the liquid (Ice floats in water). Explain why this discrepancy occurs in terms of the mass and volume.
