Answer:

Water has a higher boiling point because the hydrogen bonds that form water molecules are stronger than the Van der Waals interactions among methane molecules, therefor more energy must be provided in order to break the hydrogen bonds and allow the water molecules to escape the liquid state.

A hydroelectric dam produces renewable energy for the local area. Which best explains why more hydroelectric dams are not built?
romanna [79]

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.

In the reaction 2Mg (s) + O2 (g) + 2H2O (l) → 2Mg2+ (aq) + 4OH– (aq), which substance is reduced?
Bogdan [553]

F. <em>None of the above </em>

<em>No O atoms are present</em> as reacting substances, only O_2 and H_2O molecules.

O_2 + 2H_2O + 2e^(-) → 4OH^(-)

We must use <em>oxidation numbers</em> to decide whether oxygen or water is the substance reduced.

The oxidation number of O changes from 0 in O_2 to -2 in OH^(-).

A decrease in oxidation number is <em>reduction</em>, so O_2 is the substance  reduced.

The oxidation number of O is -2 in both H_2O and OH^(-), so water is <em>neither oxidized nor reduced</em>.

There are two stable isotopes of carbon, carbon -
nalin [4]

There is not enough information to determine anything about the relative abundances of the two isotopes.

<h3>What are isotopes?</h3>

Isotopes are atoms that have the same atomic number but different mass numbers. We know that all the isotopes of an element are not available to the same extent in nature.

Hence, from the average atomic mass of carbon, we can see that there is not enough information to determine anything about the relative abundances of the two isotopes.
