Answer:

Hydropower has a faster rate because water is continuously being recycled through the hydrogeological cycle.

Explanation:

The source of hydropower is mostly from water which is a part of the hydrogeological cycle. Water is renewed at a faster rate within the weather system from time to time. We can easily forecast and predict an areas potency of generating hydro-electricity. Water is a renewable resources.

For nuclear power, the source is geological. Not all elements are radioactive. A certain condition must be fulfilled for spontaneous radioactivity in an isotope. Minerals are mined for their useful radioactive materials which serves as fuels in nuclear power plant. Geological processes takes a very long time to occur and so the sources of nuclear power is not easily renewed. In fact, they are classified as part of non-renewable resources.

How many carbon atoms are there in one molecule of CH3FO?

Vlad1618 [11]

Answer:

Brainliest pls

Explanation:

1 mole of a substance contains Avagadro’s number of particles,

i.e. 6.023*10^23

By unitary method,

5 moles of oxygen contains 5 times the Avagadro’s number of particles

i.e. 5* (6.023*10^23) = 3.0115*10^24 number of particles.

Now, the further answer depends on what particles the question concentrates on.

If number of atoms are asked , the above answer must be multiplied by 2, because oxygen is a diatomic gas and each atom contributes to be a particle.

therefore, 5 moles of oxygen has 6.023*10^24 atoms.

If number of molecules asked, the above answer is directly written...

Select the correct answer. Based on the reactivities of the elements involved, which reaction will form products that are more s

FinnZ [79.3K]

Answer: The correct answer is option B.

Explanation: Reactivity of elements is defined as the tendency to loose or gain electrons.

These reactions are a type of single displacement reactions. A single displacement reaction is a type of reaction in which an element displaces another element in a chemical reaction. These are studied with the help of reactivity series.

The element which lies above in the reactivity series can easily displace the element which lies below in the reactivity series.

Option A: This reaction will not yield a stable product because Zinc lies below Aluminium in the reactivity series.

$AlBr_3+Zn\rightarrow \text{No reaction}$

Option B: This reaction will yield a stable product because Sodium lies above Calcium in the reactivity series.

$CaBr_2+2Na\rightarrow 2NaBr+Ca$

Option C: This reaction will not yield a stable product because Hydrogen lies below Magnesium in the reactivity series.

$MgBr_2+H_2\rightarrow \text{No reaction}$

Option D: This reaction will not yield a stable product because Calcium lies below Barium in the reactivity series.

$BaBr_2+Ca\rightarrow \text{No reaction}$

Option E: This reaction will not yield a stable product because barium lies below Lithium in the reactivity series.

$2LiBr+Ba\rightarrow \text{No reaction}$
