Question:

The molar heat capacity of a diatomic molecule is 29.1 J/K ∙ mol. Assuming the atmosphere contains only nitrogen gas and there is no heat loss, calculate the total heat intake (in kilojoules) if the atmosphere warms up by 3°C during the next 50 years. Given that there are 1.8 × 1020 moles of diatomic molecules present, how many kilograms of ice (at the North and South Poles) will this quantity of heat melt at 0°C? (The molar heat of fusion of ice is 6.01 kJ/mol.)
