Solution Steps

Step 1: Identify the given values

We are given:

  • The heat released per gram of reactant: \( 32.9 \, \mathrm{kJ/g} \)
  • The mass of the reactant consumed: \( 2.4 \, \mathrm{kg} \)
Step 2: Convert the mass of the reactant to grams

Since the heat released is given per gram, we need to convert the mass from kilograms to grams: \[ 2.4 \, \mathrm{kg} = 2.4 \times 10^3 \, \mathrm{g} \]

Step 3: Set up the expression to calculate the total heat produced

The total heat produced can be calculated by multiplying the heat released per gram by the total mass in grams: \[ \text{heat} = 32.9 \, \mathrm{kJ/g} \times 2.4 \times 10^3 \, \mathrm{g} \]

Final Answer

\[ \boxed{\text{heat} = 32.9 \, \mathrm{kJ/g} \times 2.4 \times 10^3 \, \mathrm{g}} \]

In preparing a report on the economy, we need to estimate the percentage of businesses that plan to hire additional employees in the next 60 days. a) How many randomly selected employers must we contact in order to create an estimate in which we are 95% confident with a margin of error of 5%? b) Suppose we want to reduce the margin of error to 3%. What sample size will suffice? c) Why might it not be worth the effort to try to get an interval with a margin of error of 1%? a) A sample size of is needed. (Round up to the nearest whole number.)
