The total volume of ice in the Antarctic is about 3.01 × 10 7 km 3 . If all the ice in the Antarctic were to melt completely, estimate the rise, h , in sea level that would result from the additional liquid water entering the oceans. The densities of ice and fresh water are 0.92 g/cm 2 and 1.0 g/cm 2 , respectively. Assume that the oceans of the world cover an area, A , of about 3.62 × 10 8 km 2 and thatthe increase volume of theoceans can be calculated as A × h .

Given that a 10.0g sample of ice at 0.0 degrees celsius melts and then the resultant water proceeds to warm to 20.0 degrees celsius, there are two separate processes (dealing with the transfer of heat) that describe the occurence. What are those two processes? (Hint one involves the specific heat of water).
Determine the delta H of the following reactions:
CH4 (g) +2O2(g) → CO2 (g) +2H2O(l)
CH4 (g) +2O2(g) → CO2 (g) +2H2O(g)
What is the numerical difference between these two values?
What is the only physical difference between the two reactions?
What does the numerical difference represent, in terms of the physical difference between the two reactions?
A 4.00g sample of rocket fuel was combusted in a bomb calorimeter according to the following reaction:
2CH6N2(l)+ 5O2(g) → 2N2(g) +2CO2(g) + 6H2O(l)
The temperature of the surrounding calorimeter increased from 25.00C to 39.50 C and the heat capacity of the calorimeter was previously determined to be 7.794KJ/c. What is the…
