Water flows over Niagara Falss at the average rate of 2,400,000 kg/s, and the average height of the falls is about 50 m. Knowing

that the graviatational potential energy of falling water per second = mass (kg) x height (m) x gravity (9.8 m/s2), what is the power of Niagara Falls? How many 15 W LED light bulbs could it power?

Answer:

1. 176 × 10^12 W ; 78400000000

Explanation:

Given the following :

Fall rate = 2,400,000kg/s

Average height of fall = 50m

Gravitational Potential of falling water = mgh = mass × acceleration due to gravity × height =

How many 15 W LED light bulbs could it power?

Recall : power = workdone / time

Workdone = gravitational potential energy

Mass of water = density * volume

Density of water = 1 * 10^3kg/m^3

Rate of fow = volume / time = 2400000

Hence,

Power = 1000 * 2,400,000 * 9.8 * 50

Power = 1176000000000

Power = 1. 176 × 10^12 W

How many 15 W LED light bulbs could it power?

1176000000000 / 15 = 78400000000

= 78400000000 15 W bulbs

A crystallographer measures the horizontal spacing between molecules in a crystal. The spacing is
erastova [34]

Answer: The total width of a crystal is 1.65 mm.

Explanation:

Horizontal length between the two molecules = 16.5 nm

Width of the 10^5 molecules :16.5 nm\times 10^5=16.5\times 10^5 nm

1 nm=10^{-6} mm

The total width of a crystal in millimeter=16.5\times 10^5\times 10^{-6} mm=1.65 mm

The total width of a crystal is 1.65 mm.

An object has a velocity of 8m/s and a kinetic energy of 480 j what is the mass of the object
MariettaO [177]
Kinetic energy=Ek
Ek=(1/2)mv²
Ek=480 J
v=8 m/s
mass=?

Ek=(1/2)mv²
480 J=(1/2)m(8 m/s)²
480 J=(32 m²/s²) m
m=(480 J)/(32 m²/s²)=15 kg

answer: the mass of the object is 15 kilograms.

The metabolic oxidation of glucose, C6H12O6, in our bodies produces CO2, which is expelled from our lungs as a gas.
enot [183]

Answer:

\large \boxed{\text{21.6 L}}

Explanation:

We must do the conversions

mass of C₆H₁₂O₆ ⟶ moles of C₆H₁₂O₆ ⟶ moles of CO₂ ⟶ volume of CO₂

We will need a chemical equation with masses and molar masses, so, let's gather all the information in one place.

Mᵣ:        180.16

         C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂ ⟶ 6CO₂ + 6H₂O

m/g:      24.5

(a) Moles of C₆H₁₂O₆

\text{Moles of C$_{6}$H$_{12}$O}_{6} = \text{24.5 g C$_{6}$H$_{12}$O}_{6}\times \dfrac{\text{1 mol C$_{6}$H$_{12}$O}_{6}}{\text{180.16 g C$_{6}$H$_{12}$O}_{6}}\\\\= \text{0.1360 mol C$_{6}$H$_{12}$O}_{6}

(b) Moles of CO₂

\text{Moles of CO}_{2} =\text{0.1360 mol C$_{6}$H$_{12}$O}_{6} \times \dfrac{\text{6 mol CO}_{2}}{\text{1 mol C$_{6}$H$_{12}$O}_{6}} = \text{0.8159 mol CO}_{2}

(c) Volume of CO₂

We can use the Ideal Gas Law.

pV = nRT

Data:

p = 0.960 atm

n = 0.8159 mol

T = 37  °C

(i) Convert the temperature to kelvins

T = (37 + 273.15) K= 310.15 K

(ii) Calculate the volume

\begin{array}{rcl}pV &=& nRT\\\text{0.960 atm} \times V & = & \text{0.8159 mol} \times \text{0.082 06 L}\cdot\text{atm}\cdot\text{K}^{-1}\text{mol}^{-1} \times \text{310.15 K}\\0.960V & = & \text{20.77 L}\\V & = & \textbf{21.6 L} \\\end{array}\\\text{The volume of carbon dioxide is $\large \boxed{\textbf{21.6 L}}$}
