They collect water from a lake that has recently been exposed to acid rain. They divide the water into 10 different tanks and add different amounts of limestone to nine of the tanks. No limestone is added to one of the tanks. The pH of the water in the tanks is measured before the limestone is added and once every hour for 24 hours.

(i) Describe one additional variable that has not been mentioned that could affect the results of the investigation. (G) Describe a modification that could be made to the investigation that would affect the results.arrow_forward3) Ammonia, NH3, is toxic to a wide range of aquatic organisms including snails, insects, and fish. The ammonium ion, NH4", is much less toxic since the cation does not diffuse rapidly across cell membranes. The US EPA limit for total ammonia in natural waters is 1.9 mg/L at pH 7. a. What is this limit in molar units? b. What is the concentration of NH3 at pH 7? c. What is the concentration of NH3 at pH 6? d.
