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.

I would say the answer is emissions. These are the particles that are not supposed to be present in air but due to the production of different substances from humans daily activities these substances go with the air we breath. Hope this helped.

Equilibrium occurs when the rate of the forward reaction is the same as the rate of the reverse reaction. This doesn't necessarily mean the concentrations or pressure are the same on both sides of the equation, only the rates are the same
