Answer:
B. QC > 0; QH < 0
Explanation:
Given that there are two reservoir of energy.
Sign convention for heat and work :
1.If the heat is adding to the system then it is taken as positive and if heat is going out from the system then it is taken as negative.
2. If the work is done on the system then it is taken as negative and if the work is done by the system then it is taken as positive.
From hot reservoir heat is going out that is why it is taken as negative
[tex]Q_H<0[/tex]
From cold reservoir heat is coming inside the reservoir that is why it is taken as positive
[tex]Q_C>0[/tex]
That is why the answer will be
[tex]Q_H<0[/tex] ,[tex]Q_C>0[/tex]
In the context of energy transfers with hot and cold reservoirs, the sign convention is
Given that there are two reservoir of energy. Sign convention for heat and work :
1) If the heat is adding to the system then it is taken as positive and if heat is going out from the system then it is taken as negative.
2) If the work is done on the system then it is taken as negative and if the work is done by the system then it is taken as positive.
