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.

The NaCl crystal structure consists of alternating Na⁺ and Cl⁻ ions lying next to each other in three dimensions. If the Na⁺ rad
Yuliya22 [10]

Answer : The radii of the two ions Cl⁻ ion and Na⁺ ion is, 181 and 102 pm respectively.

Explanation :

As we are given that the Na⁺ radius is 56.4% of the Cl⁻ radius.

Let us assume that the radius of Cl⁻ be, (x) pm

So, the radius of Na⁺ = x\times \frac{56.4}{100}=(0.564x)pm

In the crystal structure of NaCl, 2 Cl⁻ ions present at the corner and 1 Na⁺ ion present at the edge of lattice.

Thus, the edge length is equal to the sum of 2 radius of Cl⁻ ion and 2 radius of Na⁺ ion.

Given:

Distance between Na⁺ nuclei = 566 pm

Thus, the relation will be:

2\times \text{Radius of }Cl^-+2\times \text{Radius of }Na^+=\text{Distance between }Na^+\text{ nuclei}

2\times x+2\times 0.564x=566

2x+1.128x=566

3.128x=566

x=180.9\approx 181pm

The radius of Cl⁻ ion = (x) pm = 181 pm

The radius of Na⁺ ion = (0.564x) pm = (0.564 × 181) pm =102.084 pm ≈ 102 pm

Thus, the radii of the two ions Cl⁻ ion and Na⁺ ion is, 181 and 102 pm respectively.

2. C

3. In elastic deformation, the deformed body returns to its original shape and size after the stresses are gone. In ductile deformation, there is a permanent change in the shape and size but no fracturing occurs. In brittle deformation, the body fractures after the strength is above the limit. 

4. Normal faults are faults where the hanging wall moves in a downward force based on the footwall; they are formed from tensional stresses and the stretching of the crust. Reverse faults are the opposite and the hanging wall moves in an upward force based on the footwall; they are formed by compressional stresses and the contraction of the crust.  Thrust faults are low-angle reverse faults where the hanging wall moves in an upward force based on the footwall; they are formed in the same way as reverse faults. Last, Strike-slip faults are faults where the movement is parallel to the crust of the fault; they are caused by an immense shear stress. 


I hope this helped :D
