Conduction: In the conduction, the heat is transferred from the hotter body to the colder body until the temperature on both bodies are equal.
In thermal equilibrium, there is no heat transfer as the heat is transferred till the temperature on the bodies are not same.
In the given problem, an iron bar at 200°C is placed in thermal contact with an identical iron bar at 120°C in an isolated system. After 30 minutes, the thermal equilibrium is attained. Then, the temperature on both iron bars are equal.Both iron bars are at 160°C in an isolated system.
But in an open system, the temperatures of the iron bars after 30 minutes would be less than 160°C. There will be heat lost to the surrounding. The room temperature is 25°C. There will be exchange of the heat occur between the iron bars and the surrounding. But It would take more than 30 minutes for both iron bars to reach 160°C because heat would be transferred less efficiently.
Answer:
36.92 mg of oxygen required for bio-degradation.
Explanation:

Mass of benzene = 30 mg = 0.03 g (1000 mg = 1 g )
Moles benzene =
According to reaction 5 moles of benzene reacts with 15 moles of oxygen gas.
Then 0.0003846 mol of benzene will react with:
of oxygen gas
Mass of 0.0011538 moles of oxygen gas:
0.0011538 mol × 32 g/mol = 0.03692 g = 36.92 mg
36.92 mg of oxygen required for bio-degradation.
Explanation:
When the covalent bonds in a molecule are polarized so that one portion of the molecule experiences a positive charge and the other portion of the molecule experiences a negative charge. This separation of opposite charges creates an electric dipole.
