a sealed bottle of water was taken from a refrigerator and left in a warm kitchen. explain in the terms of its molecules what happened to the thermal energy and temperature of the water in a few minutes

Explanation:

The sealed bottle serves as an open system for the water molecules, thus heat energy can be exchanged with its surroundings. When the bottle is placed in a warm environment, there would be a gradual increase in the thermal energy of the molecules of water due to a change in the temperature of its surroundings.

Thus, the molecules of water closer to the boundary of the bottle absorbs heat, becomes lighter and changes position. This gradual process continues until all molecules attains an average temperature which equals that of the surroundings of the bottle.

Therefore, both the thermal energy and temperature of the water increases.

gravity

explanation:

-first use of geothermal energy occurred more than 10,000 years ago in north america by american paleo-indians

-the first industrial use of geothermal energy began near pisa, italy in late 18th century

-in 1904, italian scientist piero ginori conti invented the first geothermal electric power plant in which steam was used to generate the power

-with the above experiment, the first geothermal plant in usa started in 1922 with a capacity of 250 kilowatts

-however, in 1946 first ground-source geothermal heat pump installed at commonwealth building in portland, oregon

-during the 1960’s, pacific gas and electric began operation of first large scale geothermal power plant in san francisco, producing 11 megawatts

-in 1973, when oil crisis began many countries began looking for renewable energy sources and by 1980’s geothermal heat pumps (ghp) started gaining popularity in order to reduce heating and cooling costs

-as effect of climate change started showing results, governments of various countries joined hands to fight against it, for which kyoto protocol was signed in japan in 1997, laid out emission targets for rich countries and required that they transfer funds and technology to developing countries, 184 countries have ratified it
