When water is released from a dam, what happens?

Chemistry
1 answer:
malfutka [58]2 years ago
5 0

Answer:

Potential energy is transformed to kinetic energy

Explanation:

Once a river is dammed it changes its physical and chemical structure. Damming also changes the biological communities associated with the river and its floodplain. When water is kept behind dams, seasonal flow patterns are usually lost.

A hydroelectric dam converts the potential energy stored in a water reservoir behind a dam to mechanical energy—mechanical energy is also known as kinetic energy. As the water flows down through the dam its kinetic energy is used to turn a turbine.

Explain how glucose and starch are related
weeeeeb [17]

Answer:

Starch is the stored form of sugars in plants and is made up of a mixture of amylose and amylopectin (both polymers of glucose). ... The cells can then absorb the glucose. Starch is made up of glucose monomers that are joined by α 1-4 or α 1-6 glycosidic bonds.

Compound A is an alkene that was treated with ozone to yield only (CH3CH2CH2)2C=O. Draw the major product that is expected when
DochEvi [55]

Answer:

2,2,3,3-tetrapropyloxirane

Explanation:

In this case, we have to know first the alkene that will react with the peroxyacid. So:

<u>What do we know about the unknown alkene? </u>

We know the product of the ozonolysis reaction (see figure 1). This reaction is an <u>oxidative rupture reaction</u>. Therefore, the double bond will be broken and we have to replace the carbons on each side of the double bond by oxygens. If (CH_3CH_2CH_2)_2C=O is the only product we will have a symmetric molecule in this case 4,5-dipropyloct-4-ene.

<u>What is the product with the peroxyacid?</u>

This compound in the presence of alkenes will produce <u>peroxides.</u> Therefore we have to put a peroxide group in the carbons where the double bond was placed. So, we will have as product <u>2,2,3,3-tetrapropyloxirane.</u> (see figure 2)

How can you increase the amount of energy in a wave?
patriot [66]

Explanation:

One is amplitude, which is the distance from the rest position of a wave to the top or bottom. Large amplitude waves contain more energy. The other is frequency, which is the number of waves that pass by each second. If more waves pass by, more energy is transferred each second.

A certain AB4 molecule has a square-planar molecular geometry.
harina [27]

Answer:  b). The B−A−B angles between neighboring B atoms are 90∘.

Explanation:  The square planar geometry is the geometry in which the four groups are connected through an angle of 90∘ and all 5 atoms are in one plane.

It is not necessary for the molecule to have two non bonding pair of electrons on atom A but if it does have , then its parent geometry will be distorted octahedral. And if it doesn't have this non bonding pair of electrons then the geometry would be the square planar.

Thus the molecule has four electron domains about the central atom A if the parent geometry is square planar otherwise it would have 8 electron domain in distorted octahedral geometry.
