What is the maximum theoretical efficiency possible for a heat engine operating between a reservoir in which ice and water coexist, and a reservoir in which water and steam coexist? The pressure is constant at 1.0 atmosphere for both reservoirs.

Explanation:

The maximum theoretical efficiency for a heat engine is given by the Carnot's Cycle. The temperatures of the hot reservoir and the cold reservoir at 1.0 atmosphere are 373.15 K and 273.15 K, respectively. Then:
