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.

1. A given mass of air has a volume of 6.00 L at 80.0°C. At constant pressure, the temperature is

earnstyle [38]

3 L will be the final volume for the gas as per Charle's law.

Answer:

Explanation:

The kinetic theory of gases has two significant law which forms the backdrop of motion of gases. They are Charle's law and Boyle's law. As per Charle's law, the volume of any gas molecule at constant pressure is directly proportional to the temperature of the molecule.

V∝ T

Since, here two volumes are given and at two different temperatures with constant pressure. Then as per Charle's law, the relation between the volumes of air at different temperature will be

$\frac{V_{1} }{T_{1} }= \frac{V_{2} }{T_{2} }$

So in this case, V1 = 6 L and T1 = 80° C. Similarly, T2 = 40° C. So we have to determine the V2.

$\frac{6}{80}=\frac{V_{2} }{40}$

$V_{2}=\frac{6*40}{80}=3 L$

So, 3 L will be the final volume for the gas as per Charle's law.

Masja [62]

Your answer is C forms of the same element that differ in the number of neutrons in each atom because if the number of neutrons change the whole element changes.

Suppose a solution is described as concentrated. Which of the following statements can be concluded? Select the correct answer b

Novosadov [1.4K]

Answer:

last option: none of the above.

Explanation:

Describing a solution as concentrated tells that the solution has a relative large concentration, but it is a qualitative description, not a quantitative one, so this does not tell really how concentrated the solution is. This is, the term concentrated is a kind of vague; it just lets you know that the solution is not very diluted, but, as said initially, that there is a relative large amount (concentration) of solute.

One conclusion, of course, is that the solute is soluble: else the solution were not concentrated.

On the other hand, the terms saturated and supersaturated to define a solution are specific.

A saturated solution has all the solute that certain amount of solvent can contain, at a given temperature. A supersaturated solution has more solute dissolved than the saturated solution at the same temperature; superstaturation is a very unstable condition.

From above, there is no way that you can conclude whether a solution is supersaturated or not from the statement that a solution is concentrated, so the answer is none of the above.
