Chemistry

Darya [45]4 years ago

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.

How does the density of a hershey bar compare to the density of the a half bar?
anastassius [24]

The density would be the same for the whole bar as well as one half of the bar. Density is a identity I believe, by this I mean that it stays the same no matter how little or how much of the same substance you have. Since density = mass / volume, half the bar has half of the weight as well as half of the volume of the whole bar, making the density the same.

For example, a block weighs 10 grams and has a volume of 5 ml. the density would be d = 10/5 or, d = 2g/ml

Half of the block weighs 5 grams and has a volume of 2.5 ml. The density is d = 5/2.5, or, d = 2 g/ml.

See, although there are different amounts of the same substance, their density is the same.
