Explain why lime is added to lakes. Refer to the problem that exists and what lime does to the lakes.
aalyn [17]

Explanation:

Lime is added to lower the acidity of lakes when pH levels go too low.

Acidic environment is harmful to aquatic ecosystems. Acidity causes some minerals, such as phosphorus and calcium, in the water to become unavailable to aquatic organisms like plants and fishes ( This means the water hardness is reduced). The low nutrients cause stress and death in the aquatic environment lowering biodiversity.  Applying lime raises the pH to neutral levels and improves the health of the aquatic life in the lake. This also improves economic activities in the lake like fishing.

Calculate the electric double layer thickness of a alumina colloid in a dilute (0.1 mol/dm3) CsCI electrolyte solution at 30 °C.
Ad libitum [116K]

Explanation:

The given data is as follows.

    Concentration = 0.1 mol/dm^{3}

                             = 0.1 \frac{mol dm^{3}}{dm^{3}} \frac{10^{3}}{dm^{3}} \times \frac{6.022 \times 10^{23}}{1 mol} ions

                             = 6.022 \times 10^{25} ions/m^{3}

               T = 30^{o}C = (30 + 273) K = 303 K

Formula for electric double layer thickness (\lambda_{D}) is as follows.

            \lambda_{D} = \frac{1}{k} = \sqrt \frac{\varepsilon \varepsilon_{o} K_{g}T}{2 n^{o} z^{2} \varepsilon^{2}}

where, n^{o} = concentration = 6.022 \times 10^{25} ions/m^{3}

Hence, putting the given values into the above equation as follows.

                 \lambda_{D} = \sqrt \frac{\varepsilon \varepsilon_{o} K_{g}T}{2 n^{o} z^{2} \varepsilon^{2}}                    

                          = \sqrt \frac{78 \times 8.854 \times 10^{-12} c^{2}/Jm \times 1.38 \times 10^{-23}J/K \times 303 K}{2 \times 6.022 \times 10^{25} ions/m^{3} \times (1)^{2} \times (1.6 \times 10^{-19}C)^{2}}  

                         = 9.669 \times 10^{-10} m

or,                     = 9.7 A^{o}

                          = 1 nm (approx)

Also, it is known that \lambda_{D} = \sqrt \frac{1}{n^{o}}

Hence, we can conclude that addition of 0.1 mol/dm^{3} of KCl in 0.1 mol/dm^{3} of NaBr "\lambda_{D}" will decrease but not significantly.

What quantity can be calculated for a solid compound, given only the formula of the compound and the periodic table of elements
gavmur [86]
When you have both of these ( The periodic table of elements and the formula of your compound) you are able to calculate the R.M.M ( Relative atomic mass) of that compound.
For example the formula of a NaCl ( Table salt ) has the elemnt Na and Cl.
We look at the atomic mass of both of these compounds
Na - 23
Cl - 35.5
R.M.M = 23 +35.5 = 58.5
Hope this helps :).

Four conditions which cause a metathesis reaction to occur?
zubka84 [21]
Metathesis is a type of reaction in which the cations and anions exchange partners. this reaction is also called double replacement. Metathesis reactions are driven by the formation of a product .this reaction is classified into three different categories: formation of precipitate, f<span>ormation of a Weak or Non-electrolyte and production of the gas.</span>
