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

Chemistry

aalyn [17]3 years ago

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.

Identify each of the following mixtures as either homogeneous or heterogeneous and as a solution, a suspension, or a colloid.
Sergeeva-Olga [200]

Blood.

<span>Blood is heterogeneous because it has corpuscles (blood cells and platelets) physically suspended in blood plasma.   Blood plasma and the corpuscles have different properties and can be separated by methods such as centrifugation. Also, blood is considered a colloid suspension because it has the properties of both a colloid and a suspension. This is because the blood plasma acts as a colloid. More so, if blood was left to settle,then the blood cells would collect at the bottom hence taking the characteristic of a suspension. </span>

<span>Salad dressing.</span>

<span>Depending on the type of salad, it can either be a heterogeneous or homogeneous mixture. If the salad dressing is only of vinegar or any other oil, then it is a homogenous mixture. However, if it involves a mixture of vinegar and other oils, pepper, herbs, and etcetera, then it is a heterogeneous mixture</span>

dimulka [17.4K]

Answer:

1.1 × 10² g

Explanation:

First, we will convert 1.0 L to cubic centimeters.

1.0 L × (10³ mL/1 L) × (1 cm³/ 1 mL) = 1.0 × 10³ cm³

The density of water is 1.0 g/cm³. The mass corresponding to 1.0 × 10³ cm³ is:

1.0 × 10³ cm³ × (1.0 g/cm³) = 1.0 × 10³ g

1 mole of water (H₂O) has a mass of 18 g, consisting of 2 g of H and 16 g of O. The mass of Hydrogen in 1.0 × 10³ g of water is:

1.0 × 10³ g H₂O × (2 g H/18 g H₂O) = 1.1 × 10² g
