The Hoover Dam in Nevada, supplied by Lake Mead, generates hydroelectric power for several western states, including the numerou

s lights in Las Vegas. What statement accurately explains the potential energy that Hoover Dam uses to generate this power?
A) The large number of generators and height of the dam account for the potential energy.
B) The depth of Lake Mead and the large number of generators account for the potential energy.
C) The amount of water released through the dam and the dam's height account for the potential energy.
D) The quantity of water flowing into Lake Mead from the Colorado River accounts for the potential energy.

Answer: 
C).The amount of water released through the dam and the dam's height account for the potential energy.  
because energy is directly proportional to the amount of water released. according to the height of the dam ,the speed of the water will increase.

Potential energy = mgh

where

m = mass

g = acceleration due to gravity

h = height

So more the height higher the potential energy

also

more the mass (amount) of water higher the potential energy

acceleration due to gravity is a constant for earth.

hence we can say that

The amount of water released through the dam and the dam's height account for the potential energy.

A green laser pointer emits light with a wavelength of 542 nm. What is the frequency of this light?
ehidna [41]
As we know that wavelength and frequency is inversely proportional to each other. Greater the wavelength smaller the frequency and vice versa.
 
Solution:


The relation between wavelength and frequency is as follow,

υ = c / λ

where
            υ = frequency = ?
            c = velocity of light = 3.0 × 10⁸ ms⁻¹
            λ = wavenumber = 542 nm = 542 × 10⁻⁹ m
Putting the given values,
    
            υ = 3.0 × 10⁸ ms⁻¹ / 542 × 10⁻⁹ m
Result:
            υ = 5.53 × 10¹⁴ s⁻¹

Indicate which of the following criteria are important for the selection of a buffer to use in an in vitro biochemical reaction.
JulsSmile [24]

Answer:

The correct answer is: d. The pKa of the chosen buffer should be close to the optimal pH for the biochemical reaction.

Explanation:

The buffer resist or maintain the change in pH in case of Acid or basic addition to the solution. The buffer capacity should be within one or two pH units when compared to the optimal pH.

Thus it is important to select a buffer with pKa close to the optimum pH of the reaction because the ability for the buffer to maintain the pH is is great at the pH close to pKa.
