Question

the candle had 350 J of energy in the chemical store. As it burned, 250 J was transferred by lighting to the surrounding​

Answer 1

Efficiency = 71%

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following data:

Output energy = 250 Joules

Input energy = 350 Joules

To find efficiency;

`Efficiency = \frac {Out-put \; energy}{In-put \; energy} * 100`

Substituting into the equation, we have;

`Efficiency = \frac {250}{350} * 100`

`Efficiency = 0.7143 * 100`

Efficiency = 71.43 ≈ 71%

Therefore, the efficiency of the candle is 71 percent.
