Thermal decomposition of a rail car load of limestone to lime and carbon dioxide requires 2.97 x 106 kj of heat.

convert this energy to calories.

once you have the value, determine its log (base 10).

Two nitro no2 groups are chemically bonded to a patch of surface. they can't move to another location on the surface, but they can rotate (see sketch at right). it turns out that the amount of rotational kinetic energy each no2 group can have is required to be a multiple of ε, where =ε×1.010−24 j. in other words, each no2 group could have ε of rotational kinetic energy, or 2ε, or 3ε, and so forth — but it cannot have just any old amount of rotational kinetic energy. suppose the total rotational kinetic energy in this system is initially known to be 32ε. then, some heat is removed from the system, and the total rotational kinetic energy falls to 18ε. calculate the change in entropy. round your answer to 3 significant digits, and be sure it has the correct unit symbol.

Over the last 90 years, scientists have added to the body of evidence supporting the big bang theory. what is the latest piece of evidence discovered in 2014?
