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

Aqueous hydrogen chloride reacts with oxygen gas to form chlorine gas and liquid water.Express your answer as a balanced chemica
ddd [48]

Answer: 4 HCl (g) + O₂ (g) → 2 Cl₂ (g) + 2 H₂O (l)

Explanation:

4 moles of hydrogen chloride (note that it is in the gaseous phase, otherwise it would be hydrochloric acid) react with 1 mole of oxygen gas to form 2 moles of chlorine gas and 2 moles of liquid water.

To conform with  the law of conservation of mass, the equation must be balanced, this means that there must be the same number of each type of atom  on both sides of the arrow.
