Chemistry

romanna [79]3 years ago

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.

Based on the kinetic molecular theory (KMT), which statement is true?
nataly862011 [7]

Statement 1 is false because heat is the movement of molecules.

Statement 2 is true because matter is composed of elementary particles which are VERY small.

Statement 3 is false because the kinetic energy of a particle determines its heat and it is impossible for a particle to be completely motionless.

Statement 4 is false because neutrons do not have a charge and make up a large portion of all matter.

What is the mass in grams of 9.45*10^24 molecules of methanol (CH3OH)?
Angelina_Jolie [31]
Number of moles:

1 mole ---------- 6.02x10²³ molecules
? moles --------- 9.45x10²⁴ molecules

1 x ( 9.45x10²⁴) / 6.02x10²³ =

9.45x10²⁴ / 6.02x10²³ => 15.69 moles of CH3OH

Therefore:

Molar mass CH3OH = 32.04 g/mol

1 mole ------------ 32.04 g
15.69 moles -----  mass methanol

Mass methanol  = 15.69 x 32.04 / 1 => 502.7076 g
