Three thermochemical equations are given below:
(i) C(graphite) + O2(g) \(\rightarrow\) CO2(g); \(\Delta_{r}\)H° = x kJ mol–1
(ii) Cgraphite + 1/2 O2(g) \(\rightarrow\) CO(g); \(\Delta_{r}\)H° = y kJ mol–1
(iii) CO(g) + 1/2 O2(g) \(\rightarrow\) CO2(g); \(\Delta_{r}\)H° = z kJ mol–1
 
Based on the above equations, find out which one of the relationships given below is correct :
1. z = x + y 2. x = y + z
3. y = 2z – x 4. x = y – z

A heat engine (Carnot engine) operates between a cold reservoir at temperature \(T_2=300\) K and a hot reservoir at temperature \(T_1.\) If it were to take \(100\) J of heat from the hot reservoir and deliver \(80\) J of heat to the cold reservoir in each cycle, the minimum temperature of the hot reservoir would be:
1. \(350\) K
2. \(375\) K
3. \(400\) K
4. \(450\) K
