In every reaction, mass cannot be destroyed nor created as defined by the law of conservation of mass. Energy also cannot be destroyed when a chemical reaction takes place
A calorimeter contains reactants and a substance to absorb the heat absorbed. The initial temperature (before the reaction) of the heat absorbent is measured and then the final temperature (after the reaction) is also measured. The absorbent's specific heat capacity and mass are also known. Given all of this data, the equation:
Q = mcΔT
To find the heat released.
Answer : Option (A) Accelerator 2 model has the lowest percentage of energy lost as waste.
Solution : Given,
For Accelerator 1 model,
Input energy = 2078.3 J
Wasted energy = 663.1 J
Output energy = 1415.2 J
For Accelerator 2 model,
Input energy = 7690.0 J
Wasted energy = 2337.5 J
Output energy = 5353.5 J
For Accelerator 3 model,
Input energy = 4061.9 J
Wasted energy = 2259.6 J
Output energy = 1802.3 J
Formula used for lowest percentage of energy lost as waste is:
% energy lost as waste = (Total energy wasted / Total input energy ) × 100
For Accelerator 1 model,
% energy lost as waste =
= 31.90%
For Accelerator 2 model,
% energy lost as waste =
= 30.39%
For Accelerator 3 model,
% energy lost as waste =
= 55.62%
So, we conclude that the Accelerator 2 model has the lowest percentage of energy lost as waste.
