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 present in

olasank [31]

Answer: (a) There are 0.428 moles present in 12 g of $N_{2}$ molecule.

(b) There are 2 moles present in $12.044 \times 10^{23}$ particles of oxygen.

Explanation:

(a). The mass of nitrogen molecule is given as 12 g.

As the molar mass of $N_{2}$ is 28 g/mol so its number of moles are calculated as follows.

$No. of moles = \frac{mass}{molar mass}\\= \frac{12 g}{28 g/mol}\\= 0.428 mol$

So, there are 0.428 moles present in 12 g of $N_{2}$ molecule.

(b). According to the mole concept, 1 mole of every substance contains $6.022 \times 10^{23}$ atoms.

Therefore, moles present in $12.044 \times 10^{23}$ particles are calculated as follows.

$Moles = \frac{12.044 \times 10^{23}}{6.022 \times 10^{23}}\\= 2 mol$

So, there are 2 moles present in $12.044 \times 10^{23}$ particles of oxygen.

You are given an unknown type of clothing dye. how could you use the procedures in this lab to see if this dye is a mixture?

Arte-miy333 [17]

One separation technique to be used is the paper chromatography. This works by separating the components of the mixture through the difference of their concentrations. There is a stationary phase and the mobile phase, which flows through the stationary phase. The components travel at different rates and is usually signified by the colors. If more than one color would appear, that means that the dye is a mixture.
