Answer:

potential to kinetic energy

Explanation:

Water kept in a water tower posses potential energy by the virtue of height of tower.

When this water starts draining from the tower, the static water gains velocity and starts flowing. The water starts flowing after the potential energy in it converts into kinetic energy.

Potential energy is equal to $m*g*h$

Where m is the mass of water

g is gravitational constant and

h is the height (of the water tower) at which the water is stored

While kinetic energy is equal to $\frac{1}{2} * m* v^{2}$

where v is the velocity with which this water flows

Hence, the energy conversion depicted in this case is from potential to kinetic energy

Answer:

a solution of each sodium salt at the same concentration

Explanation:

If a scientist wishes to study the electrical potential that develops between ice and the sodium salts solution of the ions (F-, Cl-, Br-, or I-) in order to determine which ion produced the greatest electrical potential; he must compare the electrical potential that develops between ice and a solution of each sodium salt at the same concentration.

This means that conclusions can not be reached unless the sodium salt of each ion at the same concentration is compared so as to ensure consistence in the results of the study.
