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.

s344n2d4d5 [400]
To calculate the mass of Fe formed in a) we get first the limiting reactant between Fe2O3 and CO. Given the masses, the ratio of Fe2O3 is 1.33 while that of CO is 1.67. Hence the limiting reagent is Fe2O3. The mass of Fe formed is 148.98 grams. In b, the needed CO is only 112.04 grams. Hence, the excess is 27. 96 grams.

Consider the reaction: Mg(OH)₂ (s) ⇌ Mg²⁺ (aq) + 2 OH⁻ (aq)
balandron [24]

The value of Kc for the equilibrium is 0.150 mole² / litre ²

<u>Explanation:</u>

<u>Given:</u>

An equilibrium mixture in an 1.00 L vessel contains 5.30 moles of  

Mg(OH )₂  0.800 moles of Mg²⁺ and 0.0010 moles OH₋  

We have to find the value of Kc

  • Step 1: Find  the equilibrium Concentration.
  • Step 2: Substitute the values in the equation.
  • Step 3: Find the value of Kc.
  • I have attached the document for the detailed explanation

The value of Kc for the equilibrium is 0.150 mole² / litre ²

Rufina [12.5K]

Answer:

Enthalpy of a reaction = P - R  

Synthesis: ΔH = 25 kJ - (-30 kJ) = 55 kJ  

Single Replacement: ΔH = 30kJ - 65 kJ = -35 kJ  

Double Replacement: ΔH = 60 kJ - 10 kJ = 50 kJ
