Answer:

D. As water flows through the channels toward the turbines, it has kinetic energy. This is changed to mechanical energy as the water turns the turbines. Then the mechanical energy of the turbines is changed to electrical energy by the generator.

What’s the SI unit of the amount of isopropyl alcohol in a beaker?

Illusion [34]

Answer:

mole

Explanation:

The mole in chemistry is used to represent the amount of any substance. Just like quantifying everyday things like a dozen, score, gross etc, it is a convenient unit of quantity of particles. A mole denotes 6.02 x 10²³particles of a susbstance.

Therefore, a mole is the standard unit(SI) for the amount of isopropyl alcohol in a beaker.

calcium reacts with fluorine to produce calcium fluoride. how does oxidation and reduction take place in this reaction?

Assoli18 [71]

The oxidation is occurring on Calcium ions as it release one electron and reduction will be occurring on fluorine ion as it accepts one electron.

<u>Explanation:</u>

An element will undergo oxidation and form a positive ion on releasing one or more electrons from its valence shell. While reduction is occurred in a chemical reaction, then the element will be forming a negative ion with the acceptance of one or more electrons in its valence shell.

So in the given process of calcium fluoride, the one electron from the valence shell of calcium will be released making it as $c a^{+}$ ions and this is termed as oxidation process. This one electron will be getting accepted by the fluorine ion and thus it will convert to $F^{-}$ ions. This process of acceptance of electrons is termed as reduction.
