A Carnot refrigerator is operated between two heat reservoirs at temperatures of 320 K and 270 K. (a) If in each cycle the refrigerator receives 415 J of heat energy from the reservoir at 270 K, how many joules of heat energy does it deliver to the reservoir at 320 K

Answer:
Qh = -491.85J
(It is negative due to rejected heat)
Explanation:
In the question, the heat received by the refrigerator is at the cold reservoir where Qc= 415J
Now, we are looking for Qh.
Thus, using thermodynamics equation, we have;
Qc/Qh = — Tc/Th
Making Qh the subject, we obtain ;
-(QcTh)/Tc = Qh
Plugging in the relevant values, we obtain ;
-(415×320)/270 = – 132800/270 =
– 491.85J
