4 0

The advantages of the hydropower are:

- It is renewable

- It is a clean source of energy

- Matches current demand

- It is stable and reliable

- Requires low operating cost

The disadvantages of the hydropower are:

- Causes environmental damage

- Cost of building is expensive

- May cause droughts

- May cause floods in lower areas

- Shortage of water supply

The hydroelectric power has its prons and cons. It is very expansive for building, and it causes environmental damage in the river systems, but it also causes hazards like droughts and floods at certain areas. On the other side, once established it is very cheap, and it gets the job done when it comes to electricity. It is also an energy that is not polluting, and it is sustainable, reliable, and renewable.

Suppose that the root-mean-square velocity vrms of water molecules (molecular mass is equal to 18.0 g/mol) in a flame is found t
Zolol [24]

Answer:

T=954.41\ K

Explanation:

The expression for the root mean square speed is:

C_{rms}=\sqrt {\dfrac {3RT}{M}}

R is Gas constant having value = 8.314 J / K mol  

M is the molar mass of gas

Molar mass of water vapor = 18.0 g/mol  = 0.018 kg/mol

Temperature = ?

C_{rms}=1150  m/s

1150=\sqrt{\frac{3\times 8.314\times T}{0.018}}

1322500=\frac{24.942T}{0.018}

T=954.41\ K

What challenges would you encounter with the titration if you had used apple cider vinegar or balsamic vinegar as the analyte in
Vika [28.1K]

Explanation:

Apple cider vinegar or balsamic vinegar might contain various synthetics which might  interact with or nullified the findings, whereas white vinegar comprises of acidic acid only. In fact, apple cider vinegar and balsamic vinegar are deep in appearance this would make it very difficult to determine the color. This is why it is preferable to use white vinegar in the Titration process.

Describe how you can figure out how many grams of a COMPOUND if you know how many moles there
____ [38]
Divide the mass of the compound in grams by the molar mass you just calculated. The answer is the number of moles of that mass of compound. For example, 25 grams of water equals 25/18.016 or 1.39 moles.
