Although California leads the nation in wind power, it is likely to be surpassed by another area of the
U.S. Which area is likely to take the lead in wind power generation? What will be an ideal response?
Twelve states in the central U.S. could potentially provide 90% of the electricity that is needed in the
U.S. It is probable that these states will collectively eclipse California in the future as the nation's
leading wind power source.

The amphoteric reaction between two water molecules is endothermic, which means that this reaction requires the input of energy in order to proceed: Energy + H2O + H2O ? H3O+ + OH- The warmer the temperature of the water, the more thermal
energy is available for this reaction, and the more hydronium and hydroxide ions are formed. Based on this information, should the value of Kw be expected to increase, decrease, or stay the same with increasing temperature? A) The value of Kw will stay the same since it is a constant. B) The value of Kw will decrease since there are more hydronium ions than hydroxide ions. C) The value of Kw will increase since the rise in temperature allows for a higher concentration of both ions. D) The value of Kw will decrease since there are more hydroxide ions than hydronium ions.
