Question
To get an idea of how much thermal energy is contained in theworlds oceans, estimate the heat liberated when a cube ofocean water, 1 km on each side, is cooled by 1K. (Approximatethe ocean water as pure water for this estimate.)
Solution
The first step in solving 19 problem number 71 trying to solve the problem we have to refer to the textbook question: To get an idea of how much thermal energy is contained in theworlds oceans, estimate the heat liberated when a cube ofocean water, 1 km on each side, is cooled by 1K. (Approximatethe ocean water as pure water for this estimate.)
From the textbook chapter Heat and the First Law
of Thermodynamics you will find a few key concepts needed to solve this.
