When water is released from a dam, what happens?

Chemistry

malfutka [58]2 years ago

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.

Which best describes the particles in a gas when the temperature rises from 23 °C to 46 °C?
mariarad [96]
I think the correct answer is b. Temperature is proportional to the average kinetic energy so when temperarure rises so will the average kinetic energy. I hope this helps. Let me know if anything is unclear.

scZoUnD [109]
Leading up to this, calcium gave up 2 valence electrons and thus was denoted as a cation. These 2 electrons were transferred to bromine, which received an overall negative charge because of the addition of 2 valence electrons in its valence shell, and thus formed a negatively charged ion, an anion.

Both formed an ionic bond, due to the electrostatic charge of attraction between the 2 oppositely charged ions. If many ions of Ca and Br are present and numerous ionic bonds have formed it will undergo an arrangement which is that of an ionic lattice, type of structure.
