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.

A 0.529-g sample of gas occupies 125 ml at 60. cm of hg and 25°c. what is the molar mass of the gas?

Llana [10]

Let's assume that the gas has ideal gas behavior. 
Then we can use ideal gas formula,
PV = nRT

Where, P is the pressure of the gas (Pa), V is the volume of the gas (m³), n is the number of moles of gas (mol), R is the universal gas constant ( 8.314 J mol⁻¹ K⁻¹) and T is temperature in Kelvin.

P = 60 cm Hg = 79993.4 Pa
V = 125 mL = 125 x 10⁻⁶ m³

n = ?

R = 8.314 J mol⁻¹ K⁻¹
T = 25 °C = 298 K

By substitution,
79993.4 Pa x 125 x 10⁻⁶ m³ = n x 8.314 J mol⁻¹ K⁻¹ x 298 K
n = 4.0359 x 10⁻³ mol

Hence, moles of the gas = 4.0359 x 10⁻³ mol

Moles = mass / molar mass

Mass of the gas = 0.529 g

Molar mass of the gas = mass / number of moles
= 0.529 g / 4.0359 x 10⁻³ mol
 = 131.07 g mol⁻¹

Hence, the molar mass of the given gas is 131.07 g mol⁻¹
