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.

How many formula units are in 5.33 moles of cucl2​
Blizzard [7]

Answer:

32.1 × 10²³ formula units of CuCl₂

Explanation:

Given data:

Number of moles of CuCl₂ = 5.33 mol

Number of formula units  of CuCl₂ = ?

Solution:

The given problem will solve by using Avogadro number.

It is the number of atoms , ions and molecules in one gram atom of element, one gram molecules of compound and one gram ions of a substance.

The number 6.022 × 10²³ is called Avogadro number.

one mole of  any substance contain 6.022 × 10²³ formula units thus,

5.33 moles of CuCl₂ = 5.33 ×6.022 × 10²³ formula units

32.1 × 10²³ formula units of CuCl₂

Answer: 1.8 moles Fe and 2.7 moles CO_2 are produced.

Explanation:

The balanced chemical reaction is:

Fe_2O_3+3CO\rightarrow 2Fe+3CO_2  

According to stoichiometry :

3 moles of CO require 1 mole of Fe_2O_3

Thus 2.7 moles of CO will require=\frac{1}{3}\times 2.7=0.9moles  of Fe_2O_3

Thus CO is the limiting reagent as it limits the formation of product and Fe_2O_3 is the excess reagent.

As 3 moles of CO give = 2 moles of Fe  and 3 moles of CO_2

Thus 2.7 moles of CO will give =\frac{2}{3}\times 2.7=1.8moles  of Fe  and \frac{3}{3}\times 2.7=2.7moles  of CO_2

Thus 1.8 moles Fe and 2.7 moles CO_2 are produced.

How many moles of ScCl3 can be produced when 10.00 mol Sc react with 9.00 mol Cl2
Nuetrik [128]

Answer:

Moles of ScCl_3 = 6 moles

Explanation:

The reaction of Sc and Cl_2 to make ScCl_3 is:

2Sc+3Cl_2⇒2ScCl_3

The above reaction shows that 2 moles of Sc  can react with 3 moles of Cl_2 to form ScCl_3.

Mole Ratio= 2:3

For 10 moles of Sc we need:

Moles of Cl_2 = Moles of Sc *\frac{3 moles of Cl_2}{2 Moles of Sc}

Moles of Cl_2 = 10 *\frac{3 moles of Cl_2}{2 Moles of Sc}

Moles of Cl_2 =15 moles

So 15 moles of Cl_2 are required to react with 10 moles of Sc but we have 9 moles of Cl_2 , it means Cl_2 is limiting reactant.

Moles of ScCl_3=Given\  Moles\  of\ Cl_2 *\frac{2\  Moles\ o\ fScCl_3}{3\ Moles\ of\ Cl_2}

Moles\ of\  ScCl_3=9 *\frac{2\  Moles\ of\ ScCl_3}{3\ Moles\ of\ Cl_2}

Moles of ScCl_3= 6 moles

A naturally occurring oil co-distills with water to produce an oil/water distillate that is 20% oil by weight. If the molecular
Gelneren [198K]

Answer:

Explanation:

Partial pressure of oil = mole fraction of oil x total pressure

mole fraction of oil = mole of oil / mole of water + mole of oil

= mole of oil = mass of oil / molecular weight of oil

= 20 / 100 = .2

mole of water = 80 / 18

= 4.444

mole fraction of oil =  .2 / .2 + 4.444

= .2 / 4.644

Partial pressure of oil = mole fraction of oil x total pressure

= (.2 / 4.644 ) x 760 mm

= 32.73 mm Hg .
