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.

A 1. 07 g sample of a noble gas occupies a volume of 363 ml at 35°c and 678 mmhg. Identify the noble gas in this sample. (r = 0.

Margaret [11]

The identity of the noble gas is the sample is Krypton

<h3>Ideal Gas law</h3>

From the question, we are to determine the identity of the noble gas in the sample

From the ideal gas equation, we have that

PV = nRT

∴ n = PV / RT

Where P is the pressure

V is the volume

n is the number of moles

R is the gas constant

and T is the temperature

From the given information,

P = 678 mmHg = 0.892105 atm

V = 363 mL = 0.363 L

R = 0.08206 L.atm/mol.K

T = 35 °C = 35 + 273.15 K = 308.15 K

Putting the parameters into the equation, we get

n = (0.892105 × 0.363)/ (0.08206 × 308.15)

n = 0.0128 moles

Now, we will determine the Atomic mass of the sample

Using the formula,

Atomic = Mass / Number of moles

Atomic mass of the substance = 1.07 / 0.0128

Atomic mass of the substance = 83.6 amu

The noble gas with the closest atomic mass to this value is Krypton.

Molar mass of Krypton = 83.798 amu

Hence, the identity of the noble gas is the sample is Krypton

Answer:

I can use a dichotomous key. It helps me classify objects by sorting it out with "yes" and "no" questions.

I can use a Punnett Square. It helps me classify what genes the offspring will receive simply by figuring out the recessive and dominant genes as well as the hetzygous and homzygous.

Now give an example of which ever chart you choose by drawing it if that is required. For the Punnett Square label each of the squares Top right Hetzygous, top left dominant, bottom left recessive, bot-tom right homzygous. And for the dichotomous key put a 5-7 length branch showing the animals that have fur, can breathe under water, what cannot or doesn't have those traits. or something similar

Hopefully this helps :)
