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.

A 7.27-gram sample of a compound is dissolved in 250. grams of benzene. The freezing point of this solution is 1.02°C below that
UkoKoshka [18]

Answer:

The correct answer is 146 g/mol

Explanation:

<em>Freezing point depression</em> is a colligative property related to the number of particles of solute dissolved in a solvent. It is given by:

ΔTf = Kf x m

Where ΔTf is the freezing point depression (in ºC), Kf is a constant for the solvent and m is the molality of solution. From the problem, we know the following data:

ΔTf = 1.02ºC

Kf = 5.12ºC/m

From this, we can calculate the molality:

m = ΔTf/Kf = 1.02ºC/(5.12ºC/m)= 0.199 m

The molality of a solution is defined as the moles of solute per kg of solvent. Thus, we can multiply the molality by the mass of solvent in kg (250 g= 0.25 kg) to obtain the moles of solute:

0.199 mol/kg benzene x 0.25 kg = 0.0498 moles solute

There are 0.0498 moles of solute dissolved in the solution. To calculate the molar mass of the solute, we divide the mass (7.27 g) into the moles:

molar mass = mass/mol = 7.27 g/(0.0498 mol) = 145.9 g/mol ≅ 146 g/mol

<em>Therefore, the molar mass of the compound is 146 g/mol </em>

A sample of propane(c3h8)has 3.84x10^24 H atoms.
deff fn [24]

Answer:

A) 14. 25 × 10²³ Carbon atoms

B) 34.72 grams

Explanation:

1 molecule of Propane has 3 atoms of Carbon and 8 atoms of Hydrogen.

The sample has 3.84 × 10²⁴ H atoms.

If 8 atoms of Hydrogrn are present in 1 molecule of propane.

3.84 × 10²⁴ H atoms are present in

\mathfrak{ \frac{3.8 }{8} \times 10 ^{24}}

<u>= 4.75 × 10²³ molecules of Propane</u>.

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

No. of Carbon atoms in 1 molecule of propane = 3

=> C atoms in 4.75× 10²³ molecules of Propane = 3 × 4.75 × 10²³

<u>= 14.25 × 10²³ </u>

<u>________________________________________</u>

<u>Gram</u><u> </u><u>Molecular</u><u> </u><u>Mass</u><u> </u><u>of</u><u> </u><u>Propane</u><u>(</u><u>C3H8</u><u>)</u>

= 3 × 12 + 8 × 1

= 36 + 8

= 44 g

1 mole of propane weighs 44g and has 6.02× 10²³ molecules of Propane.

=> 6.02 × 10²³ molecules of Propane weigh = 44 g

=> 4. 75 × 10²³ molecules of Propane weigh =

\mathsf{ \frac{44 }{6.02 \times  {10}^{23} } \times 4.75 \times  {10}^{23}  }

\mathsf{  = \frac{44 }{6.02 \times   \cancel{{10}^{23} }} \times 4.75 \times \cancel{ {10}^{23}}  }

\mathsf{  = \frac{44 }{6.02 } \times 4.75   }

<u>= 34.72 g</u>

In a solution of a carbonated beverage, what is the dissolved carbon dioxide?
insens350 [35]

Answer:

D.

Explanation:

D is the correct answer because, in aqueous solution, solvent is water and solute (in this example carbon dioxide CO₂) is a substance dissolved in water. The amount of solute that can be dissolved in a solvent depends of chemical composition, temperature and pressure
