Answer:
only 2.5% is fresh water on earth
Answer:
1384 kJ/mol
Explanation:
The heat absorbed by the calorimeter is equal to the heat released due to the combustion of the organic compound. C is the total heat capacity of the calorimeter and Δt is the change in temperature from intial to final:
Q = CΔt = (3576 J°C⁻¹)(30.589°C - 25.000°C) = 19986.264 J
Extra significant figures are kept to avoid round-off errors.
We then calculate the moles of the organic compound:
(0.6654 g)(mol/46.07) = 0.0144432 mol
We then calculate the heat released per mole and convert to the proper units. (The conversion between kJ and J is infinitely precise and is not involved in the consideration of significant figures)
(19986.264 J)(1kJ/1000J) / (0.0144432 mol) = 1384 kJ/mol
Kinetic energy has increased.
The <em>Kinetic Molecular Theory</em> of gases states that the average kinetic energy of the molecules of a gas is directly proportional to its Kelvin temperature.
Thus, if the temperature of the air in a room has increased, the average kinetic energy of its molecules has increased.
