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

Chemistry
1 answer:
aalyn [17]3 years ago
4 0

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.

1. How many milliliters of 10.0 M HNO 3 are needed to prepare 0.350 L of 0.400 M solution?
tatyana61 [14]
<h3>Answer:</h3>

14 milliliters

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

We are given;

  • 10.0 M HNO₃

Prepared solution;

  • Volume of solution as 0.350 L
  • Molarity as 0.40 M

We are required to determine the initial volume of HNO₃

  • We are going to use the dilution formula;
  • The dilution formula is;

M₁V₁ = M₂V₂

Rearranging the formula;

V₁ = M₂V₂ ÷ M₁

    =(0.40 M × 0.350 L) ÷ 10.0 M

   = 0.014 L

But, 1 L = 1000 mL

Therefore,

Volume = 14 mL

Thus, the volume of 10.0 M HNO₃ is 14 mL

Which of the following electron configurations describes an element that is a noble gas?
butalik [34]

Answer:

The answer to your question is: letter D.

Explanation:

Noble gases are located in group VIIIA of the periodic table, this means that they have 8 eight electrons in their outermost shell.

Due to this characteristic, they are stable and do not react with other elements.

a. 1s22s22p4    The outermost shell of this electron configuration has 6 electrons, then this element has 6 electrons not 8. This configuration is of an element of the group VIA.

b. [Ne]2s22p2  The outermost shell of this element has 4 electrons, so this is not the configuration of a noble gas.

c. [Ar] 3s1  This element only has one electron in its outermost shell, so this is the electron configuration of an alkaline metal.

d. 1s22s22p6 This element has 8 electrons in its outermost shell, so this is the electron configuration of a noble gas.

Which parts of atoms can interact (react) to form chemical bonds?
EastWind [94]
The valence electrons are the parts of an atom that make interactions and make chemical bonds.
Every atom is made of three different components, a positively charged proton, neutrally charged neutron and negatively charged electron. The protons and the neutrons make up the atom's core and the electrons orbit around that core.
The electrons that orbit around the atom's core in its outer-most orbit (the one that is the furthest from the atom's core) can interact with electrons of other atoms, forming different kinds of chemical bonds.
If there is an exchange of the electrons (one atom donates its electrons to another atom), that results in forming of ions, then those two atoms can be linked in an ionic bond.
If an electron is shared between two atoms, then that bond is called a covalent bond.
