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

Chemistry

Darya [45]3 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.

Travka [436]
<u>Answer</u>

So this is the reaction that happens. 
<span>C4H10 + O2 = CO2 + H2O </span>

<span>Balanced, it is </span>
<span>2C4H10 + 8O2 = 8CO2 + 10H2O </span>

<span>Given 1 kg or 1000 g of butane, use stoichiometry aka factor labeling aka conversions and mole ratios to get to grams of oxygen. </span>

<span>I'll do an example. Let's form water. Hydrogen is diatomic too. </span>
<span>2H2 + O2 = 2H2O </span>

<span>Given 1000 g of Hydrogen, I need to know how many grams of oxygen to use. To convert grams to moles,
I know that 1 mol of H2 equals 2.02 g. Then, for every mole of O2, there are 2 moles of H2. Then converting moles of O2 to grams, I know that one mole of it equals 32 grams. </span>
<span>[1000 g H2] x [1 mol H2/2.02 g H2] x [1 mol O2/2 mol H2] x [32 g O2/1 mol O2] </span>

<span>My answer would be  7.9 kg </span>

During a synthesis reaction, 1.8 grams of magnesium reacted with 6.0 grams of oxygen. What is the maximum amount of magnesium ox
skelet666 [1.2K]

Answer:

2.9 grams.

Explanation:

  • From the balanced reaction:

<em>Mg + 1/2O₂ → MgO,</em>

1.0 mole of Mg reacts with 0.5 mole of oxygen to produce 1.0 mole of MgO.

  • We need to calculate the no. of moles of (1.8 g) of Mg and (6.0 g) of oxygen:

no. of moles of Mg = mass/molar mass = (1.8 g)/(24.3 g/mol) = 0.074 mol.

no. of moles of O₂ = mass/molar mass = (6.0 g)/(16.0 g/mol) = 0.375 mol.

<em>So. 0.074 mol of Mg reacts completely with (0.074/2 = 0.037 mol) of O₂ which be in excess.</em>

<em></em>

<em><u>Using cross multiplication:</u></em>

1.0 mole of Mg produce → 1.0 mol of MgO.

∴ 0.074 mol of Mg produce → 0.074 mol of MgO.

<em>∴ The amount of MgO produced = no. of moles x molar mass </em>= (0.074 mol)(40.3 g/mol) = <em>2.98 g.</em>
