In order to produce hydroelectric power, they pump water up to the top of a mountain, and as gravity causes the water flow down

again, it is used to turn the turbines. If it requires an input of energy to pump water up the mountain, why do they use this process?

Answer:Flowing water creates energy that can be captured and turned into electricity. ... The most common type of hydroelectric power plant uses a dam on a river to store water in a reservoir. Water released from the reservoir flows through a turbine, spinning it, which in turn activates a generator to produce electricity.

How many joules of heat are lost when 150.0 g of steam are cooled from 124. C to 86 C?
Alinara [238K]

 The  amount   of  joules  of heat  that are lost when 150.0 g of steam  are cooled  from 124 °c to 86 °c  is = -11343  joules


 calculation

heat(Q) = mass(m) x specific heat capacity(C) x  change  in temperature     (ΔT)

  where,

Q=? joules

M=150.0 g

C for steam = 1.99 j/g/°c

ΔT= 86°c-124°c = -38°c


Q  is therefore = 150.0 g x  1.99 j/g/°c   x -38°c =-11343 joules

Evidence for evolution reveals that closely related organisms have many (blank)<br>characteristics.​
Mamont248 [21]

Evidence for evolution reveals that closely related organisms have many similar  physical and genetic characteristics.

Explanation:

Closely related organisms have similar physical features and genetic sequences.

When both the physical and genetic features are similar, these organisms are referred to as homologous structure.They are similar, as their evolutionary path is the same.

Example: bones from the birds and arms of the humans, have evolved more or less similarly so they are homologous structure.

In other cases, the organisms might be closely related, but their genetic structure might have a slight change. Due to this change there might be difference in the physical structure.

Example: the chimpanzee and  human have different physical structure even though their evolution have taken the same path and they are closely related.

How many grams are in 2.40 moles of sodium hydroxide (NaOH)?
Bogdan [553]

Answer:

96g

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Number of moles of NaOH = 2.4moles

Unknown:

Mass of NaOH = ?

Solution:

The mass of a substance given the number of moles can be found using the expression below;

     Mass of NaOH  = Number of moles x molar mass;

  Molar mass of NaOH  = 23 + 16 + 1 = 40g/mol

Now input the parameters and solve;

    Mass of NaOH  = 2.4 x 40  = 96g
