Answer:

The dam disrupts the river wildlife and ecosystem.

Explanation:

Though it is believed that using the dam as a power generation or hydroelectric power supply generates no greenhouse gases, it, however, has many disadvantages which make it deemed not suitable or sustainable for use in the contemporary time.

Majorly, the top reason why more hydroelectric dams are not built is that "the dam disrupts the river wildlife and ecosystem."

Also, it affects the water quality and other use of water for humans such as recreational use.

There is also a possible chance of dams producing methane; a greenhouse gas through the organic materials in the water that is rotting.

The equilibrium constant for the reaction AgBr(s) Picture Ag+(aq) + Br− (aq) is the solubility product constant, Ksp = 7.7 × 10−

barxatty [35]

Answer:

The reaction will be non spontaneous at these concentrations.

Explanation:

$AgBr(s)\rightarrow Ag^+(aq) + Br^- (aq)$

Expression for an equilibrium constant $K_c$ :

$K_c=\frac{[Ag^+][Br^-]}{[AgCl]}=\frac{[Ag^+][Br^-]}{1}=[Ag^+][Br^-]$

Solubility product of the reaction:

$K_{sp}=[Ag^+][Br^-]=K_c=7.7\times 10^{-13}$

Reaction between Gibb's free energy and equilibrium constant if given as:

$\Delta G^o=-2.303\times R\times T\times \log K_c$

$\Delta G^o=-2.303\times R\times T\times \log K_{sp}$

$\Delta G^o=-2.303\times 8.314 J/K mol\times 298 K\times \log[7.7\times 10^{-13}]$

$\Delta G^o=69,117.84 J/mol=69.117 kJ/mol$

Gibb's free energy when concentration $[Ag^+] = 1.0\times 10^{-2} M$ and $[Br^-] = 1.0\times 10^{-3} M$

Reaction quotient of an equilibrium = Q

$Q=[Ag^+][Br^-]=1.0\times 10^{-2} M\times 1.0\times 10^{-3} M=1.0\times 10^{-5}$

$\Delta G=\Delta G^o+(2.303\times R\times T\times \log Q)$

$\Delta G=69.117 kJ/mol+(2.303\times 8.314 Joule/mol K\times 298 K\times \log[1.0\times 10^{-5}])$

$\Delta G=40.588 kJ/mol$

For reaction to spontaneous reaction: $\Delta G$ .
For reaction to non spontaneous reaction: $\Delta G>0$ .

Since ,the value of Gibbs free energy is greater than zero which means reaction will be non spontaneous at these concentrations

A sample of a food label is shown below.

White raven [17]

Answer:

A) It's correctly written

B) 77%

C) 835 calories

Explanation:

A) From online sources, we have number of calories as follows;

Fats: 9 calories per gram

Protein; 4 calories per gram

Carbs; 4 calories per gram

Total calories for each;

Total fat = 3 × 9 = 27 calories

Total protein = 3 × 4 = 12 calories

Total carbs = 32 × 4 = 128 calories

(sugar and dietary Fibre are classified as carbohydrates and so total carbs takes care of their calories).

Thus, total number of calories per serving = 27 + 12 + 128 = 167 calories per serving which is same as what is given.

B) percent from carbohydrates per serving = total calories from carbs/total number of calories per serving × 100% = 128/167 × 100% ≈ 77%

C) One box contains 5 servings. Thus total number of calories per box = 167 × 5 = 835 calories

In the reaction of nitrogen gas with oxygen gas to produce nitrogen oxide, what is the effect of adding more oxygen gas to the i

Alborosie

<h3>Answer:</h3>

The Equilibrium would shift to produce more NO

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

The reaction is;

N₂(g) + O₂(g) ⇆ 2NO(g)

When a reaction is at equilibrium then the forward reaction rate will be equivalent to the reverse reaction rate. Additionally, the concentration of the reactants and products are the same.
From Le Chatelier's principle, additional reactants favor the formation of more products while additional products favor the formation of more reactants.
For example, when more oxygen is added then more Nitrogen (II) oxide will be formed.
Oxygen is a reactant and when increased it favors forward reaction which leads to the formation of more NO which is the product.

What is the total charge of the nucleus of a carbon atom?<br> (1) –6 (3) +6<br> (2) 0 (4) +12

NeX [460]

Carbon atomic number ⇒ 6
Carbon mass number ⇒ 12.

Carbon atomic number - Carbon mass number = number of neutrons.
12 - 6 = 6 neutrons.

Proton charge ⇒ +1

The total charge of the nucleus of a carbon atom ⇒⇒⇒ +6.

So the naswer is (3) +6
