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]4 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.

How many moles are in 89 grams of KCI
Pani-rosa [81]

Answer:

The number of moles in 89 grams of KCl is approximately 1.193 moles

Explanation:

A mole of an element or compound, is the quantity of the element or compound that contains 6.022 × 10²³ molecules of the element or compound, such that the molar mass of one mole is dependent on the mass of each molecule of the element or compound that make up the 6.022 × 10²³ particles

The given parameters are;

The mass of the KCl = 89 grams

The Molar mass, MW, of potassium, K = 39.1 g/mole

The Molar mass, MW, of chlorine, Cl = 35.5 g/mole

Therefore, given that KCl, has one K and one Cl, per mole, we have;

The Molar mass, MW, of potassium chloride, KCl = (39.1 + 35.5) g/mole = 74.6 g/mole

The \ number \ of \ moles, n=\dfrac{Mass}{Molar \ mass, MW}

Therefore, the number of moles of KCl in 89 g, 'n' is given as follows;

n = (89 g)/(74.6 g/mole) ≈ 1.193 moles

The number of moles in 89 grams of KCl, n ≈ 1.193 moles.

Lera25 [3.4K]

Answer:

<h2>111 kPa</h2>

Explanation:

The new pressure can be found by using the formula for Boyle's law which is

P_1V_1 = P_2V_2

where

P1 is the initial pressure

P2 is the final pressure

V1 is the initial volume

V2 is the final volume

Since we're finding the new pressure

P_2 =  \frac{P_1V_1}{V_2}  \\

We have

P_2 =  \frac{13 \times 197000}{23}  =  \frac{2561000}{23}  \\  = 111347.826...

We have the final answer as

<h3>111 kPa </h3>

Hope this helps you

1) If 0.193 grams of toluene is dissolved in 2.532 grams of p-xylene, what is the molality of toluene in the solution?2) If a fr
AveGali [126]

Answer:

The value of K_f for xylene is 4.309°C/m.

The molar mass of pentane using this data is 73.82 g/mol.

Explanation:

\Delta T_f=K_f\times \frac{\text{Amount of solute}}{\text{Molar mass of solute}\times \text{Mass of solvent(kg)}}

where,

\Delta T_f =depression in freezing point

K_f = freezing point constant  

we have :

1) freezing point constant  for xylene = K_f =?

Mass of toluene = 0.193 g

Mass of xylene = 2.532 kg = 0.002532 kg ( 1 g =0.001 kg)

\Delta T_f=3.57^oC

3.57^oC=K_f\times \frac{0.193 g}{92 g/mol\times 0.002532 kg}

K_f=4.309^oC/m

The value of K_f for xylene is 4.309°C/m.

2)

Mass of pentane = 0.123 g

molar mass of pentame= M

Mass of xylene = 2.493 g =  0.002493 kg

Freezing point Constant of xylene = K_f=4.309^oC/m

2.88^oC=4.309^oC/m\times \frac{0.123g}{M\times 0.002493 kg}

M = 73.82 g/mol

The molar mass of pentane using this data is 73.82 g/mol.
