Why we cannt cook food on high attitude (like mountain where exist low temperatures )?

Cooking takes longer because water and other liquids evaporate faster and boil at lower temperatures.At sea level water boils at 212degrees Fahrenheit but at an altitude of 7,500 feet, it boils at about 198 degrees. Foods that are prepared by boiling or simmering will cook at a lower temperature and it will take longer to cook them. Hope this helps!! ; )

How many hydrogen atoms are in a water molecule?

earnstyle [38]

The subscript after the element indicates the number of atoms of that element in the molecule. So, in H20, the subscript after the H, which stands for hydrogen, is 2. This means that there are 2 hydrogen atoms in a water molecule.

Hope this helps! :)

A cyclical heat engine, operating between temperatures of 450º C and 150º C produces 4.00 MJ of work on a heat transfer of 5.00

gogolik [260]

Answer:

(a) Heat transfer to the environment is: 1 MJ and (b) The efficiency of the engine is: 41.5%

Explanation:

Using the formula that relate heat and work from the thermodynamic theory as: $W=Q=Q_{in}-Q_{out}$ solving to Q_out we get: $Q_{out}=Q_{in}-W=5(MJ)-4(MJ)=1(MJ)$ this is the heat out of the cycle or engine, so it will be heat transfer to the environment. The thermal efficiency of a Carnot cycle gives us: $n=1-\frac{T_{Low} }{T_{High}}$ where T_Low is the lowest cycle temperature and T_High the highest, we need to remember that a Carnot cycle depends only on the absolute temperatures, if you remember the convertion of K=°C+273.15 so T_Low=150+273.15=423.15 K and T_High=450+273.15=723.15K and replacing the values in the equation we get: $n=1-\frac{423.15}{723.15} =0.415=41.5%$
