When water is released from a dam, what happens?

Chemistry
1 answer:
malfutka [58]3 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.

The dessert can be harsh environment with extreme heat during the day and cold during the night also there is very little rainfa
Sphinxa [80]

Answer:

True

Explanation:

The desert refers to a region of arid land which is characterized by extreme temperatures, extreme dryness, low amount of precipitation and generally harsh living conditions. Because of these harsh conditions, they have been tagged with various names ranging from 'Death Valley' to 'the place from where there is no return' etc.

Every desert is made up of 2 components:  the <u>biotic (living) component</u> and the <u>abiotic (non-living) component</u>. The biotic (living) component consists of the plants and animals that have adapted to these harsh living conditions e.g. Cactus or Cacti, Holly plants, Camels, Lizards, Snakes etc. The abiotic (non-living) component consists of climate (subtropical deserts which are extremely cold or temperate deserts which are extremely hot), location, precipitation/rainfall

Help please! -A compound contains 0.013 moles of carbon, 0.039 moles of hydrogen and 0.0065 moles of oxygen. Determine the empir
stepan [7]

A) C2H6O1

To find the emperical formula, divide each mole value by the smallest

For carbon, 0.013/0.0065 = 2

For hydrogen, 0.038/0.0065= 6

For oxygen, 0.0065/0.0065= 1

Emperical formula = C2H6O1

How many moles are in 3.00x 10^22 atoms of He?
sp2606 [1]

Answer:

<h2>0.05 moles</h2>

Explanation:

To find the number of moles in a substance given it's number of entities we use the formula

n =  \frac{N}{L} \\

where n is the number of moles

N is the number of entities

L is the Avogadro's constant which is

6.02 × 10²³ entities

From the question we have

n =  \frac{3.0 \times  {10}^{22} }{6.02 \times  {10}^{23} }  \\  = 0.049833...

We have the final answer as

<h3>0.05 moles</h3>

Hope this helps you
