Answer : The temperature of the hot reservoir (in Kelvins) is 1128.18 K

Explanation :

Efficiency of carnot heat engine : It is the ratio of work done by the system to the system to the amount of heat transferred to the system at the higher temperature.

Formula used for efficiency of the heat engine.

\eta =1-\frac{T_c}{T_h}

where,

\eta = efficiency = 0.780

T_h = Temperature of hot reservoir = ?

T_c = Temperature of cold reservoir = -24.8^oC=273+(-24.8)=248.2K

Now put all the given values in the above expression, we get:

\eta =1-\frac{T_c}{T_h}

0.780=1-\frac{248.2K}{T_h}

T_h=1128.18K

Therefore, the temperature of the hot reservoir (in Kelvins) is 1128.18 K

The ozone layer is found in which layer of the atmosphere
prohojiy [21]

This question is incomplete because the options are missing; here is the complete question

The ozone layer is found in which layer of the atmosphere?

A. Stratosphere

B. Mesosphere

C. Thermosphere

D. Troposphere

The correct answer is A. Stratosphere

Explanation:

The ozone layer as indicated by its name is mainly composed of Ozone (O2), this layer is essential for life because it filters ultraviolet radiation and acts as a greenhouse effect gas by trapping part of the heat from the sun. Additionally, the ozone layer is located in the stratosphere, which is the second layer of the atmosphere and can be found between 20 km to 50 km from Earth's surface. Moreover, the existence of the ozone layer in the stratosphere makes the temperature increase with height due to the radiation of the sun filter by ozone.

Describe the composition of humus and why it is an effective organic fertilizer
kenny6666 [7]

Answer:

soil additive

Explanation:

Soil Additive
