Explanation:

Lime is an oxide of calcium(CaO). As a metallic oxide, it produces a basic solution when it reacts with water.

  • The main reason why lime is added to lakes is to reduce acidity in the lake water.

      Bottom muds in lakes are usually acidic and makes the water hypertonic. When lime is added, it reduces the pH of the water and causes acidity to reduce.

  • Lime also helps to reduce the hardness of lake water to a good level.
  • Lime also helps to release nutrients useful for photosynthesis of plants in the lake.

stealth61 [152]

Answer:

The correct answer is: <em>The addition of water will change the concentration of the substances in equilibrium.</em>

Explanation:

For chemical reactions, the equilibrium constant is defined as the ratio between the concentration of products and reactants. In this expression pure substances should not be written, like pure liquids and gases. Since water is a pure liquid should not appear in the equilibrium. However, water is the solvent of all the solutes or substances in the reaction, thus the addition of water will make all the substances to be diluted. Also, because of the Le Châtelier principle the equilibrium should be re-establish and the concentrations whitten in the equilibrium constant should change too.
