What determines the coefficient ratio used to predict the amount of product produced from any given amount of reactant?

The reaction equation gives the RATIO of moles reactant to moles product. With known molar mass the (mass) yield can be calculated. (Of course other reactants are to be in excess! for complete reaction of the reactant involved for this yield)


What is stripping Ratio and how is it calculated?

It's a ratio of waste extracted at a mine and is expressed as: (Total extracted - Mineral for plant) / Mineral for plant -m0id.


How are trophic level efficiency measured?

Trophic level efficiency is the ratio of production of one trophic level to the production of the next lower trophic level. This efficiency is never high.

What is the efficiency of hydraulic generators?

Basically, you need to calculate the amount of energy contained in the fuel you use to produce a given amount of electrical energy. To calculate the amount of energy in the fuel you need to lookup the number of thermal energy units per unit volume then you can convert those thermal energy units into Joules (1 gallon [U.S.] of diesel oil = 146 520 000 joules - www.onlineconversion.com) The on the electrical side, just multiply the voltage by the current by the number of seconds of run time (unvarying load) to get the electrical power output in Joules. Then the efficiency is just the the output power divided by the input power (x100 for %).

The efficiency of a real machine?

Efficiency is equal to the ratio of work input to work output; for an ideal machine this ratio is equal to 1 or 100%. For a real machine this ratio is always less than 1 because some of the work input is used to overcome mechanical friction within the machine which does not contribute to the work output of the machine.

The answer is mechanical advantage, not efficiency!


Describe why a high-efficiency machine is more desirable than a low-efficiency machine?

Efficiency is the ratio of the energy converted into useful work by the machine to the energy supplied to the machine. Certainly it will not be possible to convert all the energy supplied into useful work because of wastage of energy due to so many reasons. So efficiency will be always less than 1. As the efficiency becomes more the loss would become less. Hence it is desirable.

What does energy efficiency?

Energy conversion efficiency is the ratio between the useful output of an energy conversion machine and the input, in energy terms. The useful output may be electric power, mechanical work, or heat.
