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.

Does the amount of methanol increase, decrease, or remain the same when an equilibrium mixture of reactants and products is subj
denis23 [38]

Answer:

a. Methanol remains the same

b. Methanol decreases

c. Methanol increases

d. Methanol remains the same

e. Methanol increases

Explanation:

Methanol is produced by the reaction of carbon monoxide and hydrogen in the presence of a catalyst as follows; 2H2+CO→CH3OH.

a) The presence or absence of a catalyst makes no difference on the equilibrium position of the system hence the methanol remains constant.

b) The amount of methanol decreases because the equilibrium position shifts towards the left and more reactants are formed since the reaction is exothermic.

c) If the volume is decreased, there will be more methanol in the system because the equilibrium position will shift towards the right hand side.

d) Addition of helium gas has no effect on the equilibrium position since it does not participate in the reaction system.

e) if more CO is added the amount of methanol increases since the equilibrium position will shift towards the right hand side.

The man responsible for discovering that the atom is mostly space is: Millikan Dalton Bohr Einstein Rutherford
kodGreya [7K]

Answer: Rutherford.


Explanation:


It was the scientist Ernest Rutherford who, by 1911, performed the gold foil experiment in which α particles were shoot to a thin foild of gold.


That experiment showed that although most α particles passed through the thin gold foild, some of them were deviated in small angles and some other were bounced backward.


The conclusion of the experiment was that the atom contained a small dense positively charged nucleous and negative particles (electrons) surroundiing the nucleous. Being the space in between the nucleous and the electrons empty.


Before Rutherford's experiment the model of the atom was that of the plum pudding presented by J.J Thomson, in which the atom was a solid positively charged sphere with embeded negative charge uniformly distributed in it.
