ec=(TH-TC)/TH

ec=(490-210)/490=57.1%

<span>Efficiency is the measure of how efficient a process is. It is used to assess the ability of a process in avoiding waste energy, materials, money and time in doing a desirable output. It is calculated in thermodynamics as:

Efficiency = 1 - Tc / Th

</span>Efficiency = 1 - 210 / 490
Efficiency = 0.57

The Henry's law constant for CO2 is 3.6 ✕ 10−2 M/atm at 25°C. What pressure (in atm) of carbon dioxide is needed to maintain a C
xeze [42]

To solve this problem we will use Henry's law. This law states that at a constant temperature, the amount of gas dissolved in a liquid is directly proportional to the partial pressure exerted by that gas on the liquid. Mathematically it is formulated as follows:

C = K_H*P

Where,

K_H = Henry's constant for C02 at 25°C is equal to 3.6*10^{-2}M/atm

C = Gas concentration is 0.19M

Replacing we have,

0.19 M = (3.6*10^-2 M/atm)*P

P = 5.277 atm

Therefore the pressure of carbon dioxide is 5.277 atm

How is the direction of light changed when it travels from an optically denser medium to an optically rarer medium????? please a
ANTONII [103]

Answer:

The light bends away from the normal

Explanation:

We can solve the problem by using Snell's law:

n_1 sin \theta_1 = n_2 sin \theta_2

where:

n_1 is the index of refraction of the first medium

n_2 is the index of refraction of the second medium

\theta_1 is the angle of incidence (angle between the incoming ray and the normal to the interface)

\theta_2 is the angle of refraction (angle between the outcoming ray and the normal to the interface)

We can rearrange the equation as

sin \theta_2 = \frac{n_1}{n_2}sin \theta_1

In this problem, light travels from an optically denser medium to an optically rarer medium, so

n_1 > n_2

Therefore, the term \frac{n_1}{n_2} is greater than 1, so

sin \theta_2 > sin \theta_1\\\rightarrow \theta_2 > \theta_1

which means that the angle of refraction is greater than the angle of incidence, and so the light will bend away from the normal.

Which describes the movement of a fluid during convection?
andre [41]
The hot molecules around the heat source expands, becomes less dense, then rises. When it rises, the cooler molecules moves down to take its place. This can occur in fluid, which include gas or liquid.
