In the Niagara Falls hydroelectric generating plant, the energy of falling water is converted into electricity. The height of th

e falls is about 48 meters. Assuming that the energy conversion is highly efficient, approximately how much energy is obtained from one kilogram of falling water? Therefore, approximately how many kilograms of water must go through the generators every second to produce a megawatt of power (106 watts)?

Answer:

2.124 kg of water

Explanation:

height of the falls is about 48 meters.

Mass of water needed is 1kg = 1000g

Power needed is 106 watts.

The amount of energy in 106 watts in one sec is 106 joules.

To calculate the energy of the 1kg falling water = Mgh

Energy = 1000*9.81*48

Energy = 470880 joules.

1 megawatt is = 1000000watts

The kilogram of water needed is 1000000/470880 = 2.124 kg of water

Zinaida [17]
<h2>Let us find the efficiency : Ans = 0.6</h2>

Explanation:

we know :

efficiency = output/input

We also know that :

output = m x g x h

where :

m = mass of body

g = acceleration due to gravity

h = height of body from floor

Thus, output = 0.6 x 10 x 1.2 = 7.2J

Similarly ,input = 0.6 x 10 x 2 = 12J

Thus efficiency = 7.2/12 = 0.6

The compound PCl5 decomposes into Cl2 and PCl3. The equilibrium of PCl5(g) Cl2(g) + PCl3(g) has a Keq of 2.24 x 10-2 at 327°C. W
nordsb [41]
Take note of the reaction formula which is PCl5=Cl2+PCl3.
The Keq = [Cl2] * [PCl3] / [PCl5]=2.24*10^-2.
For the reason that the volume is 1 liter, the concentration of Cl2 will be computed through: <span>(2.24 * 10^-2) * 0.235 / 0.174 </span> = 0.0303 mol/L is the answer.
