Answer:

The temperature of the boiler is approximately 147.1 °C

Explanation:

A Carnot engine is an ideal engine that has the highest efficiency among all the engines because the second law of thermodynamics.That efficiency \eta  is:

\eta=1-\frac{T_{c}}{T_{h}}

with T_{h} the temperature of the hot reservoir (the boiler temperature) and T_{c} the temperature of the cold reservoir (the steam temperature). Solving for T_{h}:

T_{h}=\frac{-T_{c}}{\eta-1}=\frac{-72.4}{0.508-1}\approx147.1\,C

the problem say what is the volume (in kL) of 3.7505 x 10^4 mg of iron? Iron has a density of 7.87 g/ml. Use correct significant
Elis [28]
So first find the volume

so 7.78g/ml and (3.7505 times 10^4) grams
therefor we dividde (3.7505 times 10^4) by 7.78 and get how many ml

the answer is 4820.69 ml

kL means kilo lieters
kilo=1000
kL=1000Liters
ml=milileters=1/1000 leiter
1000ml=1L
therfor
1kL=1000L
1000L=1000 times (1000ml)
1000L=1,000,000ml
1kL=1,000,000ml

so to convert to kL divide 4820.69 by 1,000,000
0.00482069
convert to scientifiic notation
4.8 times 10^-3

the answer is 4.8 times 10^-3 kL
