Answer:

hydroelectric power

Explanation:

Hydroelectric energy is the form of obtaining electrical energy through the force and movement of water (potential energy or hydraulic energy). Considered the second largest source of electricity in the world, it is produced by harnessing the hydraulic potential, ie, the force of water is used to generate energy.

This power generation is only possible through the construction of hydroelectric plants in rivers that have a large volume of water and have unevenness in its course. They transform the power of water into electricity and supply it to the population.

Doing an Endothermic reaction, what happens to energy in relation to the surroundings?

natali 33 [55]

Answer:

Doing an Endothermic reaction, energy is absorbed from surroundings

Explanation:

Endothermic reactions:

The type of reactions in which energy is absorbed are called endothermic reactions.

In this type of reaction energy needed to break the bond are higher than the energy released during bond formation.

For example:

C + H₂O → CO + H₂

ΔH = +131 kj/mol

it can be written as,

C + H₂O + 131 kj/mol → CO + H₂

we can see that 131 kj/mol energy is taken by the reactants. So energy is absorbed from surrounding.

Exothermic reaction:

The type of reactions in which energy is released are called exothermic reactions.

In this type of reaction energy needed to break the bonds are less than the energy released during the bond formation.

For example:

Chemical equation:

C + O₂ → CO₂

ΔH = -393 Kj/mol

it can be written as,

C + O₂ → CO₂ + 393 Kj/mol

A student is making a glucose solution. The student is using 12.55 g of glucose (C6H1206) and a 500 mL volumetric flask. Use thi

Ber [7]

Answer:

M = 0.138 M

Explanation:

Given data:

Mass of glucose = 12.55 g

Volume of solution = 500 mL

Molarity of solution = ?

Solution:

Molarity is used to describe the concentration of solution. It tells how many moles are dissolve in per litter of solution.

Formula:

Molarity = number of moles of solute / L of solution

Number of moles of glucose:

Number of moles = mass/molar mass

Number of moles = 12.55 g/ 180.156 g/mol

Number of moles = 0.069 mol

Volume in L:

500 mL × 1 L /1000 mL

0.5 L

Molarity:

M = 0.069 mol / 0.5 L

M = 0.138 M

A piece of charcoal is found to contain

Naddika [18.5K]

Answer: The tree died 9709.46 years before.

Explanation:

Expression for rate law for first order kinetics is given by:

$t=\frac{2.303}{k}\log\frac{a}{a-x}$

where,

k = rate constant

t = age of sample

a = let initial amount of the reactant = 100

a - x = amount left after decay process = $\frac{30}{100}\times 100=30$

a) to find rate constant

Half life is the amount of time taken by a radioactive material to decay to half of its original value.

$t_{\frac{1}{2}}=\frac{0.693}{k}$

$k=\frac{0.693}{5600years}=1.24\times 10^{-4}years^{-1}$

b) to know the age

$t=\frac{2.303}{1.24\times 10^{-4}}\log\frac{100}{30}$

$t=9709.46years$

The tree died 9709.46 years before.

Two 10g blocks, one of copper and one of iron, were heated from 300 K to 400K (a temperature difference of 100 K).

12345 [234]

1) 385 J

2) 450 J

Explanation:

The amount of energy that must be absorbed by a certain substance in order to increase its temperature by $\Delta T$ is given by the equation:

$Q=mC\Delta T$

where

m is the mass of the substance

C is its specific heat capacity

$\Delta T$ is the increase in temperature of the substance

For the block of copper in this problem, we have:

m = 10 g is the mass

$C=0.385 J/gK$ is the specific heat capacity of copper

$\Delta T=400-300 = 100 K$ is the change in temperature

So, the energy absorbed by the block of copper is

$Q=(10)(0.385)(100)=385 J$

Similarly for the block of iron, the energy absorbed by the iron is given by

$Q=mC\Delta T$

where

m is the mass of the block of iron

C is its specific heat capacity of iron

$\Delta T$ is the increase in temperature of the block

Here we have:

m = 10 g is the mass of the block

$C=0.450 J/gK$ is the specific heat capacity of iron

$\Delta T=400-300 = 100 K$ is the change in temperature

So, the energy absorbed by the block of iron is

$Q=(10)(0.450)(100)=450 J$
