Answer: The correct option is A.
Explanation: In a chemical reaction, reactants react to form a number of products.
For the formation of products, the bonds of the individual reactants must be broken and the bonds of the products must be formed.
For example: Formation of water from hydrogen gas and oxygen gas. Reaction follows:
The Bonds of hydrogen and oxygen molecule are broken and new bonds between hydrogen and oxygen atoms are formed to give water molecule.
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.
