Answer

$|W| = 0.0714 \space J $

Work Step by Step

To find the work done, use the following equation $|W| = \frac{|Q_L|}{K_C}$ Where $K_C = \frac{T_L}{T_H - T_L} $ and $W = 1.0 J$ Substitute all the unknowns into the equation $|W| = (1.00 J)( \frac{T_H - T_L}{T_L})$ $|W| = (1.00 J) (\frac{300 K- 280 K}{280K} )$ $|W| = 0.0714 \space J $
