Answer: Natural gas.

Explanation: In United states, around 7.5% of electricity is generated using hydro power. 27% of electricity is generated using coal. 35% electricity is generated using natural gas and 1.5% is generated using biomass.

So, comparing the above data, the maximum percentage (35%) of electricity is generated using natural gas.

Hence, About half of the electricity in the United States is generated using natural gas.

Darwin's theorized that three conditions were necessary for natural selection to occur, which of the following is NOT one of the
Mekhanik [1.2K]

Answer:

The correct option is: stable environment

Explanation:

According to the Darwin's theory, natural selection is the concept by which all the small useful variations of traits are preserved.

According to Darwin, there are three <u>necessary and sufficient conditions</u> for the occurrence of natural selection:

1. struggle for existence

2. variation

3. inheritance

These conditions are said to be necessary because if these conditions are not satisfied then natural selection does not occur.

These conditions are said to be sufficient because if these conditions are satisfied, then natural selection will most definitely occur.

Which way does equilibrium shift
Natali [406]
You can use Le Chatelier's Principle to describe the equilibrium shift.

Le Chaterlier's Principle states that: "<span>If a dynamic equilibrium is disturbed by changing the conditions, the position of equilibrium moves to counteract the change."

Thus, if you heat up the reaction, the equilibrium shift favors the endothermic reaction. If you increase pressure (if gases are involved), the shift favors the reaction that produces less gaseous products (to counteract pressure) and so on.</span>

. A standard dry cell has an output voltage of A. 1.5 VDC. B. 1.1 VDC. C. 1.2 VDC. D. 2.0 VDC.
NikAS [45]
<span>The correct answer is letter A. 1.5 VDC. A standard dry cell has an output voltage of A. 1.5 VDC. Standard dry cell is a type of electricity-producing chemical cell, that is commonly use in households, and even portable devices. Dry cell is zinc-carbon cell and with nominal voltage of 1.5 volts.</span>

How much thermal energy is added to 10.0 g of ice at −20.0°C to convert it to water vapor at 120.0°C?
Sonbull [250]

Answer:

7479 cal.

31262.2 joules

Explanation:

This is a calorimetry problem where water in its three states changes from ice to vapor.

We must use, the calorimetry formula and the formula for latent heat.

Q = m . C . ΔT

Q = Clat . m

First of all, let's determine the heat for ice, before it melts.

10 g . 0.5 cal/g°C ( 0° - (-20°C) = 100 cal

Now, the ice has melted.

Q = Clat heat of fusion . 10 g

Q = 79.7 cal/g . 10 g → 797 cal

We have water  at 0°, so this water has to receive heat until it becomes vapor. Let's determine that heat.

Q = m . C . ΔT

Q = 10 g . 1 cal/g°C (100°C - 0°C) → 1000 cal

Water is ready now, to become vapor so let's determine the heat.

Q = Clat heat of vaporization . m

Q = 539.4 cal/g . 10 g → 5394 cal

Finally we have vapor water, so let's determine the heat gained when this vapor changes the T° from 100°C to 120°

Q = m . C . ΔT

Q = 10 g . 0.470 cal/g°C . (120°C - 100°C) → 94 cal

Now, we have to sum all the heat that was added in all the process.

100 cal + 797 cal + 1000 cal + 5394 cal + 94 cal =7479 cal.

We can convert this unit to joules, which is more acceptable for energy terms.

1 cal is 4.18 Joules.

Then, 7479 cal are (7479 . 4.18) = 31262.2 joules
