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.

Consider the following equilibrium: CO2(g) + C(graphite) 2CO(g); ΔH = 172.5 kJ The equilibrium constant for this reaction will
bezimeni [28]

Answer: Option (B) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

As the given reaction is as follows.

               CO_{2}(g) + C(graphite) \rightarrow 2CO(g)

Equilibrium constant for this reaction will be as follows.

             K_{c} = \frac{[CO_{2}]}{[CO]^{2}}

According to Le Chatelier's principle, when we increase the temperature then the equilibrium will shift towards the right hand side.

As a result, concentration of carbon dioxide will decrease whereas concentration of carbon monoxide will increase.

Thus, we can conclude that in the given reaction equilibrium constant for this reaction will decrease with increasing temperature.

Butane (c4h10) is liquid fuel used in lighters. how many grams of carbon are in a lighter containing 7.25 mL of butane? The dens
Alisiya [41]
Density = 0.601 g/mL

Volume = 7.25 mL

D = m / V

0.601 = m / 7.25

m = 0.601 x 7.25 => 4.35725 g

hope this helps!
