Answer

a) 590 J b) 0.23

Work Step by Step

(a) We know that $Heat exhausted=Q_h=Q_c+W$ We plug in the known values to obtain: $Heat\space exhausted= 110+480=590J$ (b) We can find out the coefficient of performance as $COP=\frac{Q_c}{W}$ We plug in the known values to obtain: $COP=\frac{110}{480}$ $COP=0.23$
