Answer:
Impossible.
Explanation:
The ideal Coefficient of Performance is:
The real Coefficient of Performance is:
Which leads to an absurds, since the real Coefficient of Performance must be equal to or lesser than ideal Coefficient of Performance. Then, the cycle is impossible, since it violates the Second Law of Thermodynamics.
Answer:
(a)
<em>d</em>Q = m<em>d</em>q
<em>d</em>q = <em>d</em>T
=
(T₂ - T₁)
From the above equations, the underlying assumption is that remains constant with change in temperature.
(b)
Given;
V = 2L
T₁ = 300 K
Q₁ = 16.73 KJ , Q₂ = 6.14 KJ
ΔT = 3.10 K , ΔT₂ = 3.10 K for calorimeter
Let be heat constant of calorimeter
Q₂ = ΔT
Heat absorbed by n-C₆H₁₄ = Q₁ - Q₂
Q₁ - Q₂ = m ΔT
number of moles of n-C₆H₁₄, n = m/M
ρ = 650 kg/m³ at 300 K
M = 86.178 g/mol
m = ρv = 650 (2x10⁻³) = 1.3 kg
n = m/M => 1.3 / 0.086178 = 15.085 moles
Q₁ - Q₂ = m ' ΔT
= (16.73 - 6.14) / (15.085 x 3.10)
= 0.22646 KJ mol⁻¹ k⁻¹
