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.

Alex777 [14]

Answer:

17. D. Chemical change

18. C. Cell wall

19. D. To transfer matter and energy within and between organisms.

20. A. Transporting materials

21. C. Carbon dioxide

22. A. Cellular respiration

23. C. Produce food and give off oxygen

Explanation:

I have been able to supply the correct answers. The cell wall functions as a structure that provides structural support and protection to the cell. It is tough, flexible and at times rigid. In a chemical change, new materials with new properties are manufactured. So, the process of photosynthesis is a chemical change.

The endoplasmic reticulum actually transports material. It transports materials like protein and lipids made within the cell and sends it to where they are needed.

Carbon dioxide  is the the gas that animals give off and plants use it during photosynthesis. Cellular respiration involves the activities that result to the breaking down of food in order to release energy.

PLZ HELP 20 POINTS WILL GIVE BRAINLIEST how does substituting a hydrogen atom with a halogen in a hydrocarbon affect the resulti
soldier1979 [14.2K]

Organic compounds that contain only hydrogens and carbons are known as hydrocarbons. Hydrocarbons can be saturated or unsaturated in nature. Saturated hydrocarbons are those which contain only carbon-carbon single bonds whereas unsaturated hydrocarbons contain carbon-carbon double or triple bonds. Hydrocarbons can undergo several reactions like substitution, elimination etc.

When one or more hydrogen atoms in hydrocarbon are substituted with halogen it results in the formation of haloalkane. Due to which the molecular weight increases as the halogen atoms are large compared to the carbon and hydrogen atoms. The bond becomes polar due to the presence of electronegative halogen atom and thus results in the increase in boiling point of the haloalkane.

Thus, the boiling point of the new compound increases on substituting a hydrogen atom with a halogen in a hydrocarbon.

How many moles of water will be produced when 15.0 g of calcium chloride dihydrate are heated ?
Vanyuwa [196]

Answer:

0.204 mol

Explanation:

Step 1: Write the balanced equation for the heating of calcium chloride dihydrate

CaCl₂.2H₂O ⇒ CaCl₂ + 2H₂O

Step 2: Calculate the moles of calcium chloride dihydrate

The<em> molar mass of CaCl₂.2H₂O</em> is 147.01 g/mol. The moles corresponding to 15.0 g of CaCl₂.2H₂O are:

15.0g \times \frac{1mol}{147.01g} = 0.102 mol

Step 3: Establish the molar ratio of CaCl₂.2H₂O to H₂O

According to <em>the balanced equation</em>, the molar ratio of CaCl₂.2H₂O to H₂O is 1:2.

Step 4: Use the molar ratio to calculate the moles of water produced from 0.102 moles of calcium chloride dihydrate

0.102molCaCl_2.2H_2O \times \frac{2molH_2O}{1molCaCl_2.2H_2O} = 0.204molH_2O
