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.

Answer:

The freshwater sources that are generally in continuous motion and follow a defined path are called streams and rivers.

If I were to improve the lab then I will make the following changes:

  • The experiment aimed to observe and model the effects of rivers on erosion. So, I can make a virtual model of the river and can compare the velocity, gradients and volume of rivers.
  • Comparison between the low and high factors listed can help in computing the effect of the powerful river on erosion.
  • The high velocity. gradient and volume of the river will cause more erosion as it exerts more force.
  • The low volume, gradient and velocity river will affect in a less manner on erosion.

thats all i know ( correct me if im wrong please)

Which is responsible for the formation of rust on metals?(1 point)
Rainbow [258]

The correct answers about rusting, air pollution and products of water with rock are:

Option A. oxidation

Option D. Pollutants mix with air and water to make acid rain.

Option B. clay minerals and calcium carbonate

<h3>What is rusting?</h3>

Rusting is the process by which a metal especially reacts with oxygen in the atmosphere and water vapor to form a hydrated oxide of the metal known as hydrated iron (iii) oxide. This is known as rust.

The process is an oxidation process; option A.

<h3>How does air pollution impact chemical weathering?</h3>

Air pollution is the presence of substances in air known as pollutants which makes the air impure.

Air pollution impact chemical weathering  as the pollutants mix with air and water to make acid rain which weathers rocks; option D.

<h3>What products are produced when water reacts with sodium in rocks?</h3>

The reaction of water with sodium in rocks result in the formation of clay minerals and calcium carbonate also as limestone, marble or chalk; option B.

In conclusion, the presence of pollutants in air results in acid rain and hence rock weathering.

A student reacts 5.0 g of sodium with 10.0 g of chlorine and collect 5.24 g of sodium chloride. What is the percent yield of thi
Ede4ka [16]

Answer: The percent yield of this combination reaction is 41.3 %

Explanation : Given,

Mass of Na = 5.0 g

Mass of Cl_2 = 10.0 g

Molar mass of Na = 23 g/mol

Molar mass of Cl_2 = 71 g/mol

First we have to calculate the moles of Na and Cl_2.

\text{Moles of }Na=\frac{\text{Given mass }Na}{\text{Molar mass }Na}

\text{Moles of }Na=\frac{5.0g}{23g/mol}=0.217mol

and,

\text{Moles of }Cl_2=\frac{\text{Given mass }Cl_2}{\text{Molar mass }Cl_2}

\text{Moles of }Cl_2=\frac{10.0g}{71g/mol}=0.141mol

Now we have to calculate the limiting and excess reagent.

The balanced chemical equation will be:

2Na+Cl_2\rightarrow 2NaCl

From the balanced reaction we conclude that

As, 2 mole of Na react with 1 mole of Cl_2

So, 0.217 moles of Na react with \frac{0.217}{2}=0.108 moles of Cl_2

From this we conclude that, Cl_2 is an excess reagent because the given moles are greater than the required moles and Na is a limiting reagent and it limits the formation of product.

Now we have to calculate the moles of NaCl

From the reaction, we conclude that

As, 2 mole of Na react to give 2 mole of NaCl

So, 0.217 mole of HCl react to give 0.217 mole of NaCl

Now we have to calculate the mass of NaCl

\text{ Mass of }NaCl=\text{ Moles of }NaCl\times \text{ Molar mass of }NaCl

Molar mass of NaCl = 58.5 g/mole

\text{ Mass of }NaCl=(0.217moles)\times (58.5g/mole)=12.7g

Now we have to calculate the percent yield of this reaction.

Percent yield = \frac{\text{Actual yield}}{\text{Theoretical yield}}\times 100

Actual yield = 5.24 g

Theoretical yield = 12.7 g

Percent yield = \frac{5.24g}{12.7g}\times 100

Percent yield = 41.3 %

Therefore, the percent yield of this combination reaction is 41.3 %

determine the freezing point depression of a solution that contains 30.7 g glycerin (c3h8o3, molar mass
Blababa [14]

The freezing point depression of a solution containing 30.7 g of glycerin  is  calculated as -1.65°C

Equating :

It is given that,

Given mass of glycerin is = 30.7 grams (Solute)

Volume of water = 376 mL

K_{f}or molar -freezing-depression point is = 1.86°C/m

Molar mass of glycerin = 92.09 g/mole

Now, to work out the value, the mass of water should be known. Thus, to calculate, the formula used will be:

Mass = Density X Volume

Mass = 1.0 g/mL X 376 mL

Mass = 376 g or 0.376 Kg

Using the formula of melting point depression, the equation becomes:

             ΔT_{f} = i ×K_{f} ×m

T⁰-T_{s}  = i *K_{f} *\frac{mass of glycerin}{molar mass of glycerin * mass of water     in     kg}

in which,

ΔT_{f} = change in freezing point

ΔT_{s} = freezing point of solution that has to be find

ΔT° = freezing point of water ()

Since, glycerin is a non-electrolyte, the Van't Hoff factor will be 1.

Substituting the values in the above equation:

0⁰C₋T_{s} = 1 ×1.86°C/m ×\frac{30.7}{92.09g/mol * 0.376kg}

T_{s} = -1.65°C

Thus, the freezing point depression of a solution is  -1.65°C

<h2 />

Freezing point depression

Freezing point depression is a colligative property observed in solutions that results from the introduction of solute molecules to a solvent. The freezing points of solutions are all less than that of the pure solvent and is directly proportional to the molality of the solute

Is melting point elevation or depression?

Boiling point elevation is that the raising of a solvent's boiling point due to the addition of a solute. Similarly, melting point depression is the lowering of a solvent's freezing point due to the addition of a solute. In fact, because the boiling point of a solvent increases, its melting point decreases
