At a hydroelectric power plant, potential energy is changed into kinetic energy. The kinetic energy is then transformed into electrical energy. i What is the source of the energy that turns the turbine in the power plant? Chemical energy of water molecules as they fall Gravitational potential energy of water behind the dam Elastic potential energy of the water molecules as they bounce over the dam Electrical energy from power lines that connect the hydroelectric plant to a grid

Answers

Answer 1

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.

Ammonia (NH3) dissolved in water is heated in a beaker. If initially there had been 60 grams dissolved in 100 grams of water, what would happen if the temperature reached 90℃ and why? A. The solution would become supersaturated and the ammonia would all remain dissolved . B. The solution would become saturated but the amount of ammonia dissolved would remain the same . C. about 50 more grams of ammonia would be able to dissolve as the solution has become unsaturated . D. about 50 grams of ammonia would come out of solution as the temperature caused the solubility to decrease .

Answers

Answer:

C. About 50 more grams ammonia would be able to dissolve as the solution has become unsaturated

Explanation:

From the question, we have;

The mass of ammonia dissolved in water = 60 grams

The mass of the water solvent which dissolves the ammonia = 100 g

The temperature to which the ammonia water solution is raised = 90°C

Therefore, given that the solubility of a solute in a solvent increases with temperature, when the temperature is raised, we have, that the solution will more unsaturated and will be able to dissolve more ammonia, therefore, option 'C' is the most correct option that corresponds with the relationship of temperature and solubility

You add 28 grams of carbon. You find the actual yield to be 181.2 grams of CO2. What is the percent yield of CO2?

Answers

Answer:

79.14%

Explanation:

Given the equation : 2Fe2O3 + 3C 4Fe + 3C02

The theoretical yield of CO2 ; is 102.6g

Actual yield = 81.2 gram

Percentage yield = (actual yield / theoretical yield) * 100%

Percentage yield = (81.2 / 102.6) * 100%

Percentage yield = 0.7914230 * 100%

Percentage yield = 79.14%

Hence, tbe percentage yield of CO2 is 79.14%

Answers

Answer:

hope u umderstood ! if explanation needed then conta t

Nitrogen and hydrogen react to form ammonia and is a combination reaction. The grams of hydrogen used in the reaction with nitrogen to form ammonia is 2.0 grams.

What is mass in grams?

Mass is the weight or the product of the volume and density of the substance. It can be calculated as, [tex]\rm volume \times density.[/tex]

Given,

Mass of nitrogen = 10.0 grams

Mass of ammonia = 12.0 grams

Mass of hydrogen = x gram

Solving for x:

[tex]\begin{aligned}\rm 10 + x &= 12\\\\\rm x &= 12.0 - 10.0\\\\&= 2.0 \;\rm grams\end{aligned}[/tex]

Therefore, 2.0 grams of hydrogen is required to react with 10.0 grams of nitrogen to produce 12.0 grams of ammonia.

What is the state change of a gas to a liquid is called?

Answers

It is called condensation

Answer:The process in which a gas changes to a liquid is called condensation. Other examples of condensation are shown in Figure below. A gas condenses when it is cooled below its boiling point.

Explanation:

There are 4 phases for h20 solid liquid vapour and gas.

In the vacuum of space there are only 2 phases solid and gaseous, both liquid and vapour cannot exist in the absolute freezing temperature of the vacuum of space and crystalise instantly.

Watch a space shuttle dump water in space and it instantly freezes, and when in direct sunlight instantly turn to its gaseous phase and becomes invisible to the naked eye by the process of sublimation.

When h20 freezes in the shadow of the shuttle to ice crystals they instantly sublimate to the a gaseous state when they come into contact with direct sunlight.

You can see all 4 phases if you place ice cubes [ solid phase ] in a pan on a stove, the Solid beComes liquid [ liquid phase ]and the liquid becomes a gas in the bottom of the pan when the water boils, [ gaseous phase ] the bubbles coming up from the bottom are the instant phase change from liquid to gas, when the gas bubbles break the surface of the water and the gas comes into contact with the cooler air the gas instantly starts to condense to water droplets i.e. the vapour phase

You can see through the bubbles because h20 in its gaseous phase is invisible to the naked eye.

Gaseous h20 is hot dry and invisible

Vaporous h20 is warm wet and visible

Gaseous h20 is known as a condensing gas in physics because it condenses obviously, condensing gases are also known as optically active gases or radiatively active gases.

Hope this helps all the 3 phase numpties who think vapour i.e. water droplets is actually gas, it isnt or it wouldn’t be called vapour it would be called gas.

Liquid water has to reach its boiling point before it will phase change to its gaseous phase.

Vapor has to boil before the water droplets will phase change to a gaseous state, steam is not gas it is condensing gas i.e. vapour at a lower temperature than boiling point.

hope this helps have a nice day
