Answer:

E_T = 36.95J

6. 35.391918182373

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the thermal energy of the total amount of molecules you use the following formula:


E_T=(3)/(2)nk_BT ( 1 )

n: number of molecules = 6.07*10^21

T: temperature = 21°C = 294.15K

k_B: Boltzman's constant = 1.38*10^-23 J/K

You replace the values of the parameters in the equation (1):


E_T=(3)/(2)(6.07*10^(21)( 1.38*10^(-23) J/K)(294.15K)\\\\E_T=36.95J

hence, the thermal energy is 36.95J
