Answer:
Nitrate from agriculture is now the most common chemical contaminant in the world’s groundwater aquifers. Aquatic ecosystems are affected by agricultural pollution; for example, eutrophication caused by the accumulation of nutrients in lakes and coastal waters impacts biodiversity and fisheries.
1) Acidic - gastric juices pH 1, lemon juice pH 2.2, tomato juice pH 4.
2) Neutral - salt solution pH 7.
3) Alkaline - baking soda pH 9, bleach pH 13.
pH is a numeric scale used to specify the acidity or basicity of an aqueous solution.
When pH is less than seven (pH<7), solution is acidic.
When is equal seven (pH = 7), solution is neutral.
When pH is greater than seven (pH > 7), solution is basic.
To begin with, the equation given is not correct.
Correct equation is : CaCO3 + HCl ---> CaCl2 + H2O + CO2
It's CaCl2 not CaCl because Ca has a valency of 2
LHS RHS
CaCO3 + HCl ---> CaCl2 + H2O + CO2
First of all, to balance the equation you must look at the number of atoms on each side of the equation.
we have 2 H on the RHS and 1 H on the LHS. So, we put a 2 on the LHS
CaCO3 + 2HCl ---> CaCl2 + H2O + CO2
Check for the LHS: 1 Ca, 1 C, 3 O, 2 H & 2 Cl on the LHS
Now check for the RHS: 1 Ca, 2 Cl, 2 H, 1 C & 3 O
Hope it helped!
