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.

over a 12.3 minuete period 5.13 E-3 moles of F2 gas effuses from a contaier. How many moles of CH4 gas could effuse from from th
Aleonysh [2.5K]

Answer : The moles of methane gas could be, 7.90\times 10^{-3}mol

Solution :

According to the Graham's law, the rate of effusion of gas is inversely proportional to the square root of the molar mass of gas.

R\propto \sqrt{\frac{1}{M}}

or,

(\frac{R_1}{R_2})=\sqrt{\frac{M_2}{M_1}}

[\frac{(\frac{n_1}{t_1})}{(\frac{n_2}{t_2})}]=\sqrt{\frac{M_2}{M_1}}

where,

R_1 = rate of effusion of fluorine gas

R_2 = rate of effusion of methane gas

n_1 = moles of fluorine gas = 5.13\times 10^{-3}mol

n_2 = moles of methane gas = ?

t_1=t_2 = time = 12.3 min  (as per question)

M_1 = molar mass of fluorine gas  = 38 g/mole

M_2 = molar mass of methane gas = 16 g/mole

Now put all the given values in the above formula 1, we get:

[\frac{(\frac{5.13\times 10^{-3}mol}{12.3min})}{(\frac{n_2}{12.3min})}]=\sqrt{\frac{16g/mole}{38g/mole}}

n_2=7.90\times 10^{-3}mol

Therefore, the moles of methane gas could be, 7.90\times 10^{-3}mol

Compare to the sample of helium at STP, the same sample of helium at a higher temperature and a lower pressure.
Molodets [167]

Here we have to compare the state of helium gas at STP and high temperature and low pressure.

At STP (standard condition of temperature and pressure) i.e. 273K temperature and 1 bar pressure. At STP helium gas will behave as a real gas.

At higher temperature and low pressure Helium will behave as an ideal gas.

The ideal gas conditions are developed on taking into account two factors: (i) the gas molecules are point of mass and having no volume. (ii) there is no existence of force of attraction between the molecules.

The deviation from ideal gas to the real gas depends upon the van der waals' interaction between the gas molecules. Now in low pressure and high temperature, we can ignore the volume and also the inter-molecular force of attraction. Thus the gas sample can behaved as ideal gas.

But at elevated pressure and low temperature i.e. STP the assumptions are not valid and it will behave as real gas.

If you burn 55.6 g of hydrogen and produce 497 g of water, how much oxygen reacted?
tester [92]

Answer:

441.28 g Oxygen

Explanation:

  • The combustion of hydrogen gives water as the product.
  • The equation for the reaction is;

2H₂(g) + O₂(g) → 2H₂O(l)

Mass of hydrogen = 55.6 g

Number of moles of hydrogen

Moles = Mass/Molar mass

          = 55.6 g ÷ 2.016 g/mol

          = 27.8 moles

The mole ratio of Hydrogen to Oxygen is 2:1

Therefore;

Number of moles of oxygen = 27.5794 moles ÷ 2

                                               = 13.790 moles

Mass of oxygen gas will therefore be;

Mass = Number of moles × Molar mass

Molar mass of oxygen gas is 32 g/mol

Mass = 13.790 moles × 32 g/mol

<h3>          = 441.28 g</h3><h3>Alternatively:</h3>

Mass of hydrogen + mass of oxygen = Mass of water

Therefore;

Mass of oxygen = Mass of water - mass of hydrogen

                          = 497 g - 55.6 g

<h3>                           = 441.4 g </h3>
