Answer:

Gravitational potential energy of water behind the dam

Explanation:

Energy can be defined as the ability (capacity) to do work. The two (2) main types of energy are;

a. Gravitational potential energy (GPE): it is an energy possessed by an object or body due to its position above the earth.

b. Kinetic energy (KE): it is an energy possessed by an object or body due to its motion.

Hydroelectric power plant refers to a renewable source of energy used for the generation of electricity, through the use of powerful hydraulic steam turbines operating at high voltage and are being driven by the energy acquired by water falling from a height and flowing through a penstock (pipe) i.e the mechanical energy (gravitational potential energy + kinetic energy).

At a hydroelectric power plant, potential energy is changed into kinetic energy. The kinetic energy is then transformed into electrical energy.

The source of the energy that turns the turbine in the power plant is Gravitational potential energy of water behind the dam, usually from streams or rivers.

What is the value for (delta)G at 1000 K if (delta)H = -220 kJ/mol and (delta)S = -0.05 kJ/(molK)?
tankabanditka [31]
The system is isothermal, so we use the formula:
(delta)G = (delta)H - T (delta) S

Plugging in the given values:
(delta)G = -220 kJ/ mol - (1000K) (-0.05 kJ/mol K)
(delta)G = -170 kJ/mol

If we take a basis of 1 mol, the answer is
D. -170 kJ

What is the [H+] concentration of a solution with a pH of 3.78
lianna [129]

Answer:

[H+] = 1.66 x 10^{-4}

Explanation:

To find the [H+] concentration of a solution, we can use the formula:

[H+] = 10^{-pH}

Let's plug in the pH.

[H+] = 10^{-3.78}

Evaluate the exponent.

[H+] = 1.66 x 10^{-4}

Hope this helps!

Explanation:

Photosynthesis is the process by which green plants manufacture their food using carbon dioxide and water in the presence of sunlight.

It is expressed using the equation below;

      6CO₂   +   6H₂O     →      C₆H₁₂O₆  +  6O₂

         reactants                      products

1. Compounds consumed are carbon dioxide and water.

2. Product is glucose and oxygen.

3. Most organism obtain their nourishment directly and indirectly from photosynthetic activities.

Plants are the producers of food in the ecosystem. If the process of photosynthesis does not occur, there is no way other organisms will obtain their own nourishment.
