Answer is: B.) Yes, if work is done, this transfer process can take place.

For example,  air conditioner involves a cyclic process that transfers heat from a cold reservoir to a hot reservoir, but with use of electricity.

Thermal conductuction is the transfer of heat through physical contact. Thermal conduction is the transfer of heat by microscopic collisions of particles. Heat spontaneously flows from a hotter to a colder body.

The process of heat conduction depends on four basic factors: the temperature gradient, the cross section of the materials involved, their path length and the properties of those materials.

<u>Yes, it is very possible, if work is done, transferring heat from a cold reservoir to a hot reservoir can take place</u>. This implies the correct answer is B.

A good example, in this case, is an air conditioner. Air conditional entails a cyclist process in which heat is transferred from a cold reservoir to a hot reservoir using electricity. Also, in the process of heat transfer, the air conditioner generates more heat.

<h2>Further Explanation</h2>

The transfer of heat in this case is via thermal conduction. It involves the transfer of heat by collisions of particles microscopically. It also involves electrons movement in a body.

The collided particles such as atoms, electrons, and molecules transfer microscopic kinetic and potential energy that is disorganized.

However, the disorganized potential energy and microscopic kinetic are together known as internal energy.  

In other words, heat transfer through conduction involves direct contact between molecules and atoms.

The process of heat transfer via conduction simply depends on the four major factors:

  • The temperature gradient
  • The cross-sections of the materials involved in the process
  • The path length of the material involved
  • The conductive properties of the materials involved
  • Therefore, it is very possible, if work is done to transfer heat from a cold reservoir to a hot reservoir

Effectus [21]

Answer:

1.1 liters

1.2 liters

1.5 liters

Explanation:

Precision in data refers to how close the experimental values of an experiment are to one another irrespective of the true or accepted value. In other words, a set of values are said to be PRECISE if they are close to one another.

In this case, data was collected after conducting an experiment about the amount, in liters, of water a specific plant needs per month. However, according to the set of experimental values provided, only 1.1 litres, 1.2litres and 1.5litres are close to one another and, hence, are said to be PRECISE even if they are not close to the accepted value of 6litres.

skad [1K]
The balanced chemical reaction:

K2SO4 + O2 = 2KO2 + SO2

Assuming that the reaction is complete, all of the potassium sulfate is consumed. We relate the substances using the chemical reaction. We calculate as follows:

7.20 g K2SO4 ( 1 mol / 174.26 g) ( 1 mol O2 / 1 mol K2SO4 ) ( 32 g / 1 mol ) = 1.32 g O2 consumed in the reaction.
