Slaked lime is essentially calcium hydroxide, Ca(OH)2. The main reason it loses its alkalinity over time is because it tends to absorb CO2 (carbon dioxide) from the atmosphere, and this results in the formation of calcium carbonate. The reaction is Ca(OH)2 + CO2 ==> CaCO3 + H2O. The pH will not go back to 7 because the calcium carbonate (CaCO3) that is formed is also alkaline.

What is the origin of a boroscope?

A boroscope is an instrument for looking down a narrow tube or bore such as down a gun barrel. The word comes from a combination of 'bore' and 'scope' because of this primary initial use.

What difficulties were involved in loading bullets that were large enough to spin inside a rifle barrel?

In the days of the muzzle loading rifle, the bullet had to be pushed down the barrel. When black powder is burned, it leaves "fouling", or gunk, behind. If a snug fitting bullet was pushed into the fouling, it would stick, and not go down the barrel. Even with a clean barrel, the bullet had to be hammered down the barrel, causing very slow loading times. This was addressed with the creation of the Minie bullet- smaller diameter, with a hollow skirt at the rear. The smaller bullet would fit down the barrel- but on firing, the hollow base expanded, gripping the rifling, causing the bullet to spin on the way out.

What kind of information is indicated by the graph of a landing site distance versus projectiles mass if the slope of the curve is zero?

Force = mass * acceleration Mass is only involved during the acceleration in the gun barrel , and is involved (with the explosive force) in translating to muzzle velocity. The horizontal distance travelled depends on the muzzle velocity and the incline of the barrel to horizontal. The curve will be parabolic even when the launch angle is 0 in which case the path will be negative (essentially going underground) 1. split launch velocity into horizontal and vertical vectors 2. using vertical velocity vector (initial velocity u), calculate (total) time to rise and fall back to ground using newtons equations. 3. multiply time by horizontal velocity vector to calculate horizontal distance travelled to landing site.
