**Question:**What is the theoretical maximum efficiency \( e \) of a heat engine (Carnot engine) operating between 150.0°C and 400.0°C?**Options:**- ○ 0.3714 - ○ 0.6250 - ○ 0.3750 - ○ 0.2500 - ○ 0.3560 **Explanation:**The theoretical maximum efficiency of a Carnot engine can be calculated using the formula:\[ e = 1 - \frac{T_c}{T_h} \]where:- \( T_c \) is the absolute temperature of the cold reservoir (in Kelvin)- \( T_h \) is the absolute temperature of the hot reservoir (in Kelvin)To convert from Celsius to Kelvin, add 273.15 to the Celsius temperature. For this problem:- \( T_h = 400.0°C + 273.15 = 673.15 \, \text{K} \)- \( T_c = 150.0°C + 273.15 = 423.15 \, \text{K} \)Plug these values into the efficiency formula to find the theoretical maximum efficiency.
