How is energy converted in a hydroelectric plant?

Chemistry
1 answer:
faltersainse [42]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

Energy is converted in a hydroelectric plant as follows;

The kinetic energy of water turns turbines; the mechanical energy of the turbines turns the generator, which produces electrical energy

Explanation:

The water in an hydroelectric plant is given potential energy by building an artificial dam to raise the height of the water above the turbine

The high potential energy of the water is converted to kinetic energy which provides the power that turns the turbine transforming the kinetic energy of the water into rotational kinetic energy of the turbine by conservation of mechanical energy;

The shaft connected between the turbine and the generator, turns the generator by the mechanical energy of the turbine and as the generator turns in a magnetic field, electricity is produced by magnetic induction according to Faraday's law.

Molecules of carbon dioxide are linear. What type of force exists between these molecules?
Ratling [72]

Answer:

D) Van der Waals

Explanation:

Given that the geometry is linear, one finds that the C = O bonds cancel out any polar effects due to the linear geometry ( O = C =  O )and gives the molecule a net dipole of zero. Interactions are therefore dependent upon dispersion forces that are classified as Van der Waal Forces or London Forces.

Plasmid DNA and a gene of interest are cut with the enzyme PpuMI. Write a possible sequence of bases for the sticky end of the g
nasty-shy [4]

Answer:

5' RG        GWCCY 3'

3' YCCWG        GR 5'

Explanation:

The enzyme PpuMI is a restriction endonuclease enzyme, it has a specific recognition site where it cut the DNA. The source of the enzyme is from ​​an E. coli strain that carries the PpuMI gene from Pseudomonas putida (R. Morgan).

The enzyme PpuMI recognizes specific sequence with palindrome arrangement. It target the sequence 5' RGGWCCY 3'

target Sequence: 5' RGGWCCY 3'

                            3' YCCWGGR 5'

The enzyme cleavage point is at:

5' RG^GWCCY 3'

3' YCCWG^GR 5'

The product of the cleavage will give a sticky end Cleavage:

5' RG        GWCCY 3'

3' YCCWG        GR 5'

Note: R stands for purines (adenine and guanine). Y stands for pyrimidines (cytosine, thymine, and uracil). And W represents adenine or thymine.

Neporo4naja [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

Compounds derived from Phosphatidyl choline are referred to as Lysolecithins.  These compounds are  amphiphatic in nature and have both hydrophilic and hydrophobic regions.

Choline, glycerol, and phosphate represent the hydrophyilic portion of lysolecithins,while the fatty acid on C1 is hydrophobic in nature.

Glycerol, choline and phosphate act as a polar tail whereas the fatty acid acts as a long polar head which represents an amphipathic molecule like detergents.

A laser pointer used in the classroom emits light at 5650 Å, at a power of 4.00 mW. (One watt is the SI unit of power, the measu
Elden [556K]

Answer:

n = 1.3 x 10¹⁸ photons

Explanation:

First we need to calculate the amount of energy released in given time:

E = Pt

where,

E = Energy  = ?

P = Power = 4 mW = 0.004 W

t = time = 115 s

Therefore,

E = (0.004 W)(115 s)

E = 0.46 J

Now, this energy can be given in forms of photons as:

E = nhc/λ

where,

n = No. of photons = ?

h = Plank's Constant = 6.626 x 10⁻³⁴ J.s

c = speed of light = 3 x 10⁸ m/s

λ = wavelength of light = 5650 x 10⁻¹⁰ m

Therefore,

0.46 J = n(6.626 x 10⁻³⁴ J.s)(3 x 10⁸ m/s)/(5650 x 10⁻¹⁰ m)

n = (0.46 J)/(3.5 x 10⁻¹⁹ J)

<u>n = 1.3 x 10¹⁸ photons</u>
