Answer:

The correct answer is:

(a) 27.5 Joules

(b) 141.5 Joules

Explanation:

Given:

Energy,

[tex]Q_c = 110 \ J[/tex]

Coefficient of performance refrigerator,

[tex]Cop(refrig)=4[/tex]

(a)

As we know,

⇒ [tex]Cop(refrig) = \frac{Q_c}{Work}[/tex]

or,

⇒ [tex]Work=\frac{Q_c}{Cop(refrig)}[/tex]

              [tex]=\frac{110}{4}[/tex]

              [tex]=27.5 \ Joules[/tex]

(b)

⇒ [tex]Heat \ expelled = Heat \ removed +Work \ done[/tex]

or,

⇒ [tex]Q_h = Q_c+Work[/tex]

         [tex]=114+27.5[/tex]

         [tex]=141.5 \ Joules[/tex]
