Answer:

\Delta H_{rxn}=-0.111 \frac{kJ}{mol}

Explanation:

Hello!

In this case, since the total heat flow due to the reaction equals the negative of the calorimeter's heat, we can first compute the former as shown below:

Q_{rxn}=-C\Delta T\\\\Q_{rxn}=6.38\frac{J}{\°C}*3.2\°C=-20.416J

Now, since this total heat flow due to the reaction is defined in terms of the heat of reaction and the total reacted moles:

Q_{rxn}=n*\Delta H_{rxn}

Thus, we compute the moles in 8.5 g of ethanol:

n=8.5g*\frac{1mol}{46.08g}=0.185mol

Therefore, the heat of reaction results:

\Delta H_{rxn}=\frac{Q_{rxn}}{n} =\frac{-20.416J}{0.185mol} =-110.7J/mol\\\\\Delta H_{rxn}=-0.111 \frac{kJ}{mol}

Best regards!

Answer:

It is true that earth was once covered with oceans and little dry land.

Explanation:

Over the course of around four billion years, the Earth's oceans have lost about a quarter of their original mass. Today the atmosphere is rich in oxygen, which reacts with both hydrogen and deuterium to recreate water, which falls back to the Earth's surface. So the vast bulk of the water on Earth is held in a closed system that prevents the planet from gradually drying out. According to the researchers,  the continents emerged relatively suddenly from an ocean that covered 95 percent of the Earth's surface. The appearance of large masses of dry land would have caused more extreme weather, changes in ocean currents and the emergence of proper seasons. In turn, these environmental changes may have led to rise in atmospheric oxygen that enabled the explosion of new life forms around 500 million years ago.
