Answer: The correct answer is Efficiency= \frac{W}{Q_{H}}.

Explanation:

Heat engine: It is a device which converts the heat energy in to the mechanical work. In heat engine, the heat is transferred from high temperature reservoir to the low temperature reservoir.

It is just opposite of the refrigeration.

The expression of the work done is as follows;

W=Q_{H}-Q_{C}

Here, Q_{H} is the heat added to the system and Q_{C} is the heat rejected to the cold reservoir.

The formula for calculating the efficiency of a heat engine is as follows;

Efficiency= \frac{W}{Q_{H}}

Here, W is the work done and Q_{H} is the heat added from the reservoir which is at high temperature and Q_{C} is the heat rejected to the reservoir which is at low temperature.

Hi there,


Efficiency=. Work
——————-
Heat energy

We know that all the energy that is put into the engine has to come out either as work or waste heat. So work is equal to Heat at High temperature minus Heat rejected at Low temperature.

The most common reaction that causes spoilage isn't a reaction at all. Molds and Bacteria are attracted to the easily found presence of water in the fruit. They find a natural place to reproduce and what they do causes spoilage.

Very few sources talk about the chemical changes that take place. If you put fruit in a refrigerator it slows the spoiling process down. That means that the chemical reaction has to be endothermic (it requires heat to occur)

The process of spoilage is speeded up by bananas for example, giving up Ethylene gas. You do not want to put a banana with tomatoes, because tomatoes are very sensitive to Ethylene. (It's OK to eat them together. They make a terrific salad. Yum).

I cannot find a definitive source that connects all this together, but the conduct of the fruit in refrigerators confirms what I am saying.

Spoilage is a very complex reaction and interaction with the environment. I have given you a hint of what happens but you should search it out to convince yourself of the outcome.

In the reaction of silver nitrate with copper metal, metallic silver comes out of solution, and the solution turns blue. This as a <u>single replacement</u> reaction.

<h3>What is single replacement reaction?</h3>

A single replacement reaction, also known as a single displacement reaction, occurs when one element in a molecule is swapped out for another. The starting materials are always pure elements, such as a pure zinc metal or hydrogen gas, plus an aqueous compound.

A + BC → B + AC

When A is more reactive than B or when the product AC is more stable than BC, single replacement reactions happen. A and B could either be two halogens or two metals (with hydrogen included) (C is a cation). C functions as a spectator ion when BC and AC are in aqueous solutions.

For example, 2HCl(aq)+Zn(s)→ZnCl₂(aq)+H₂(g)
