3I₂ + 2Al → 2AlI₃
m(I₂)=3M(I₂)m(Al)/{2M(Al)}
m(I₂)=3*253.8*20.4/{2*27.0}=287.64 g
Thermal energy is defined as the total kinetic energy of all particles in an object. Even though the cup of water has a higher temperature, the bathtub has more thermal energy because it contains much more mass of water compared to the cup.
