How do hydroelectric dams emit greenhouse gases like methane without burning any fossil fuels?

Chemistry
1 answer:
Helen [10]3 years ago
8 0

Answer: The concept behind hydroelectric power is simple: Rather than combusting fossil fuels, like coal, oil, or natural gas, which put over 52 million kilotons of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere each year, dams block the water flowing in rivers or lakes and use the force of the would-be flow to turn turbines,

If a 12-volt battery produces a current of 20 amps, what is the resistance?
mixas84 [53]

Answer:

0.6 Ω

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Voltage (V) = 12 V

Current (I) = 20 A

Resistance (R) =?

From Ohm's law,

V = IR

Where:

V => is the voltage

I => is the current

R => R is the resistance

With the above formula, we can obtain the resistance as follow:

Voltage (V) = 12 V

Current (I) = 20 A

Resistance (R) =?

V = IR

12 = 20 × R

Divide both side by 20

R = 12 / 20

R = 0.6 Ω

Thus the resistance is 0.6 Ω

Looking across period 4 of the periodic table, potassium (atomic number 19) is followed by calcium (atomic number 20), which is
Mumz [18]
While staying in the same period, if we move from left to right across the period, the atomic radius decreases. The reason is, in a period the number of shells remain the same and the number of electrons and protons increase as we move across the period to the right. The increased electrons and protons attract each other with greater force and hence the atomic size decreases. 

So the element on the left most will have the largest atomic radius. So the correct ans is Potassium. Potassium will have the largest atomic size among Potassium, Calcium and Scandium.

What is a factor that can influence the rate of a nuclear decay reaction?
Viktor [21]

the stability of the radioactive element

Explanation:

The stability of a radioactive element can influence the rate of nuclear decay reaction. Pressure, temperature and concentration only affects chemical changes. These factors would not have any effect on radioactive decay of an element.

  • Every atomic nucleus have a specific neutron/proton ratio which ensures the stability of the nucleus.
  • Any nucleus that deviates from the stability ratio will continue to split until it achieves stability.
  • The more unstable a nucleus is, the faster it decays.
  • This is the basis of radioactive decay of elements.

Which acid has the largest ka: hclo3(aq), hbro3(aq) or hio3(aq)?
ryzh [129]
Greater the Ka value greater is the acid strength. Among these three acids HClO3 is the strongest acid, with greatest Ka and lowest pKa value (-1), Then comes HBrO3, its the second most strongest acid among the three, its Pka value is 0.7, higher than HClO3 but smaller than HIO3 (i.e. 0.77) which the weakest acid among the three.
