Explanation :

A hydroelectric dam is used to produce electricity. The transformation of energy that is associated with a hydroelectric dam is :

Since the water is falling from a height so at that point the potential energy of water converts into kinetic energy. The turbine attached is used to convert the energy in the water to mechanical energy.

Finally, the mechanical energy is converted to electrical energy with the help of a generator.

Hence, the correct option is (B) " gravitational potential energy into kinetic energy into mechanical energy into electrical energy ".

What mass of NH3 can be made from 35.0 grams of N2

Allushta [10]

42.5g

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Mass of N₂= 35g

Unknown:

Mass of NH₃ = ?

Solution:

Equation of the reaction:

N₂ + 3H₂ → 2NH₃

To solve this problem, we work from the known species to the unknown. The known here is the reacting mass of the N₂. From this we can find the number of moles of the N₂.

Number of moles of N₂ = $\frac{mass}{molar mass}$
