Explain why lime is added to lakes. Refer to the problem that exists and what lime does to the lakes.

Chemistry
1 answer:
Darya [45]3 years ago
8 0

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.

With a wet Erlenmeyer flask, the result will not be accurate. It might be contaminated by any type of liquid such as basic or acidic. Therefore, an error will occur since it is not 100% acid.- hope this helped

1. The reaction below describes cellular respiration. Which compounds are the reactants and which are the
swat32

Answer:

C₆H₁₂O₆ and O₂ are reactant.

CO₂ and H₂O are products.

C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂  →  6CO₂ + 6H₂O + ATP

Explanation:

There are two types of respiration:

1. Aerobic respiration  

2. Anaerobic respiration

Aerobic respiration

It is the breakdown of glucose molecule in the presence of oxygen to yield large amount of energy. Water and carbon dioxide are also produced as a byproduct.

Glucose + oxygen → carbon dioxide + water + 38ATP

Anaerobic Respiration

It is the breakdown of glucose molecule in the absence of oxygen and produce small amount of energy. Alcohol or lactic acid and carbon dioxide are also produced as byproducts.  

Glucose→ lactic acid/alcohol + 2ATP + carbon dioxide

This process use respiratory electron transport chain as electron acceptor instead of oxygen. It is mostly occur in prokaryotes. Its main advantage is that it produce energy (ATP) very quickly as compared to aerobic respiration.

Steps involve in anaerobic respiration are:

Glycolysis

Glycolysis is the first step of both aerobic and anaerobic respiration. It involve the breakdown of one glucose molecule into pyruvate and 2ATP.

Fermentation

The second step of anaerobic respiration is fermentation. It involve the fermentation of pyruvate into lactic acid or alcohol depending upon the organism in which it is taking place. There is no ATP produced, however carbon dioxide is released in this step.
