It has been postulated that ethanol “snow” falls near the poles of the planets Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune. If the polar regions of Uranus, defined to be north of latitude 75.0° N and south of latitude 75.0° S, experience 1.00 ft of ethanol snow, what is the minimum amount of energy lost to the atmosphere to produce this much snow from ethanol vapor? Assume that solid ethanol has a density of 1.00 g/cm3 and that ethanol snow—which is fluffy like Earth snow—is about 90.0% empty space. The specific heat capacity is 1.30 J/(g K) for ethanol vapor, 2.44 J/(g K) for ethanol liquid, and 1.20 J/(g K) for solid ethanol. How much power is dissipated if 1.00 ft of ethanol snow falls in one Earth day?
