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

3. Could a molecule<br> contain only one atom?
Blababa [14]
A molecule is defined as two or more atoms of the same element different element that are bound together. A molecule may be homonuclear, which means, it consists of atoms of one chemical element, as with oxygen (O2); or it may be heteronuclear, a chemical compound composed of more than one element, as with water (H2O).

Calculate AH°rxn from AH°7 values (use table in textbook appendix) a) Cl2 (g) + 2 Na (s) -› 2 NaCl (s) EITHER -411.1kJ/mol b) 2
MrMuchimi

To find AH°rxn, we use the following equation:

What we're going to do is to sum the enthalpy of the products and then substract with the enthalpy of the reactives:

As you can see, we need to multiply by the coefficients of the reaction.

Now, just replace the values of the table:

So the answer is -822.2kJ/mol.

For b:

Now, just replace the values of the table:

The answer for b is -1036kJ/mol.

Sterling silver contains silver and copper metals. if a sterling silver chain contains 17.6g of silver and 2.40g of copper, what
Bogdan [553]

Answer:-  0.88

Solution:- Masses of silver and copper metals are given and we are asked to calculate the percentage of silver in the alloy.

mass percent of Ag = (\frac{mass of Ag}{mass of alloy})*100

Mass of Ag = 17.6 g

mass of Cu = 2.40 g

mass of alloy = 17.6 g + 2.40 g = 20.0 g

Let's plug in the values in the formula:

mass percentage of Ag = (\frac{17.6}{20.0})*100

mass percentage of Ag = 88%

So, the mass percentage of silver in sterling silver is 88% and in decimal form it is 0.88.
