Water flows over Niagara Falls at the average rate of 2,400,000 kg/s, and the average height of the falls is about 50 m. Knowing

that the gravitational potential energy of falling water per second = mass (kg) × height (m) × gravity (9.8 m/s2), what is the power of Niagara Falls? How many 15 W LED light bulbs could it power?

Answer:

Power, P=1.176\times 10^9\ W

No of bulbs = 78400000

Explanation:

We have,

Water flows over Niagara Falls at the average rate of 2,400,000 kg/s, it mean it is mass per unit time i.e. m/t.

It falls from a height of 50 m

The gravitational potential energy of falling water is given by :

P = mgh

Power is equal to the work done divided by time taken. So,

P=\dfrac{W}{t}\\\\P=\dfrac{mgh}{t}\\\\P=\dfrac{m}{t}\times gh

So,

P=2400000\times 9.8\times 50\\\\P=1.176\times 10^9\ W

Let there are n bulbs that could power 15 W LED. It can be calculated by dividing the power by 15. So,

n=\dfrac{1.176\times 10^9}{15}\\\\n=78400000\ \text{bulbs}

It means that the number of bulbs are 78400000.

A reversible reaction is one where A) there are large changes in the net free energy from substrate to product. B) there is litt
laila [671]

Answer:

A reversible reaction is one where <u><em>B) there is little change in the net free energy between substrate and product.</em></u>

Explanation:

A reversible reaction is one that reagents are transformed into products and at the same time products are transformed into reagents. That is to say that as the products appear in the reaction, they can react with each other by regenerating the reagents again. It is represented by a double arrow, indicating that the reaction can be carried out both in one direction and the other way around.

At the start of the reaction, there is a large amount of reagents. As time goes by, that amount decreases and speed too.

On the other hand, at the beginning of the reaction there are no products. As the reaction happens, the products are being formed and their speed will increase to match the speed of the reagents. When the rates of products and reagents are equal and constant, it is possible to say that the reaction is in chemical equilibrium. At this point, both reactions continue to happen, but the total concentrations of reagents and products no longer change.

The Gibbs free enthalpy or free energy of a system is a measure of the amount of usable energy (energy that a job can perform) in that system.

When a reaction system is in chemical equilibrium, it is in the lowest possible energy state (it has the lowest possible free energy). If a reaction is not in equilibrium, it will move spontaneously towards it because that allows it to reach a state of lower and more stable energy. Then when the reaction moves towards equilibrium, the free energy of the system decreases more and more.

Finally, <u><em>a reversible reaction is one where B) there is little change in the net free energy between substrate and product.</em></u>

Mixtures of benzene and cyclohexane exhibit ideal behavior. A solution was created containing 1.5 moles of liquid benzene and 2.
goblinko [34]

Answer:

Vapour pressure of cyclohexane at 50°C is 490torr

Vapour pressure of benzene at 50°C is 90torr

Explanation:

Using Raoult's law, pressure of a solution is defined by the sum of the product sbetween mole fraction of both solvents and pressure of pure solvents.

P_{solution} = X_{A}P^0_{A}+X_{B}P^0_{B}

In the first solution:

X_{cyclohexane}=\frac{2.5mol}{2.5mol+1.5mol} =0.625

X_{benzene}=\frac{1.5mol}{2.5mol+1.5mol} =0.375

340torr = 0.625P^0_{A}+0.375P^0_{B} <em>(1)</em>

For the second equation:

X_{cyclohexane}=\frac{3.5mol}{3.5mol+1.5mol} =0.700

X_{benzene}=\frac{1.5mol}{3.5mol+1.5mol} =0.300

370torr = 0.700P^0_{A}+0.300P^0_{B}<em>(2)</em>

Replacing (2) in (1):

340torr = 0.625P^0_{A}+0.375(1233.3-2.333P^0_{A})

340torr = 0.625P^0_{A}+462.5-0.875P^0_{A}

-122.5torr = -0.250P°A

P^0_{A} = 490 torr

<em>Vapour pressure of cyclohexane at 50°C is 490torr</em>

And for benzene:

370torr = 0.700*490torr+0.300P^0_{B}

P^0_{B}=90torr

<em>Vapour pressure of benzene at 50°C is 90torr</em>

How many moles of salt are in 13.8 g of sodium chloride?
Hoochie [10]

Answer: 0.24 moles

Explanation:

Molecular Mass of NaCl (23 + 35.5) = 58.5g

58.5g of Sodium Chloride -------> 1 mole of NaCl

∴ 13.8g of Sodium Chloride  ------>  1 ÷58.5 x  13.8 = 0.2358974  ≈    0.24moles
