Answer

a) 2.9 KJ b) $T_c=262.694K=-10.3^{\circ}C$

Work Step by Step

(a) We know that $Heat \space removed =Heat\space supplied -Work\space done$ We plug in the known values to obtain: $Heat\space removed=3240-345=2895J=2.895KJ$ (b) As given that the room temperature is $21^{\circ}C$ so $T_h=21+273=294K$ We know that $\frac{Q_c}{Q_h}=\frac{T_c}{T_h}$ $\implies T_c=\frac{Q_c}{Q_h}\times T_h$ We plug in the known values to obtain: $T_c=\frac{2895}{3240}\times 294$ $T_c=262.694K=-10.3^{\circ}C$
