How does the use of hydroelectric energy compare to the use of coal?

Chemistry
1 answer:
lora16 [44]3 years ago
4 0
<span>Hydroelectric energy uses the movement of water to spin a turbine and produce electricity. Coal is a fossil fuel that is burned as an energy source, which results in emissions such as carbon dioxide, nitrogen, and sulfur. Coal use is associated with waste products both from the mining process to acquire the coal and also from the actual use of coal itself. Hydroelectric energy does not involve waste, but does pose potential problems to waterways. Coal use is more common than the use of hydroelectric energy.</span>

The melting point of H₂O(s) is 0 °C. Would you expect the melting point of H₂S(s) to be 85 °C, 0 °C or -85 °C.? Justify your cho
dimulka [17.4K]

Answer:

-85 °C

Explanation:

O and S are in the same group( Group 16). Since S is below O it's atomic mass is higher than O. So molar mass of H2S is higher than H2O. The strength of Vanderwaal Interactions ( London dispersion forces) increases when the molar mass increases. However, only H2O can form H bonds with each other. This is because electronegativity of O is higher than S and therefore H in H2O has a higher partial positive charge than H of H2S.

H bond dominate among these 2 types of forces so the strength of attractions between molecules is higher in H2O than H2S. Therefore more energy should be supplied for H2O to break inter

molecular forces and convert from solid to liquid state than H2S. So mpt of H2O must be higher than that of H2S.

The amount of which subatomic particle is different between an atom and its ion?
11111nata11111 [884]
There are three subatomic particles known: (1) electron which is found outside the nucleus of an atom and (2 and 3) protons and neutrons which are both inside the nucleus. As they are outside the nucleus, it is easier to transport electron than any other subatomic particle. Thus, atom and its ion differ in the number of electrons.

Why are some elements no longer found on earth
Iteru [2.4K]

Answer:

A synthetic element is one of 24 chemical elements that do not occur naturally on Earth: they have been created by human manipulation of fundamental particles in a nuclear reactor, a particle accelerator, or the explosion of an atomic bomb; thus, they are called "synthetic", "artificial", or "man-made".

PLEASE HELP I HAVE LIMITED TIME!!
n200080 [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

Si tomamos en cuenta el peso molecular del agua, que es equivalente a:

1 Átomo de H₂O

O = 16 gr/mol

H = 1 gr/mol

H₂O = 18 gr/mol

Teóricamente sabemos que en 1 mol de H2O habrá 18 gr.

 

Para obtener los moles presentes en 1 mg de H₂O, (como 1 gr = 1000 mg), decimos:

1 mol H2O …………………………..  18000 mg

       X          ……………………………   1 mg

X = 1 / 18000 = 5,56 X 10⁻⁵ moles de H20

 

Y para obtener la cantidad de moléculas presentes, de acuerdo a los moles, multiplicamos por el número de Avogadro (6,023 X 10²³ moléculas /mol)

Moléculas de H₂O = 5,56x 10⁻⁵ mol x 6,023 x 10²³

Moléculas de H₂O = 3,34488 x10¹⁹ moléculas de H₂O

En el copo de nieve habrá 3,34488 x 10¹⁹ moléculas de H₂O.

Espero que te sirva =)
