Answer:

20% of phosphorus

Explanation:

A fertilizer is used to improve the fertility of soils. Most fertilizers contains the element nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium.

They are often designated NPK fertilizers.

  Now we know that the numbers 10-20-20 depicts the nitrogen-phosphorus and potassium content of the fertilizer.

From the designation,

    The actual percentage is 20% of phosphorus.

                                               10%  of nitrogen

                                                20% of potassium

djverab [1.8K]

Tetraphosphorus Decaoxide has a molecular formula of P4O10, all else are known. Therefore the balanced chemical equation would be:

4PH3 + 8O2 --> 6H2O + P4O10

 

Taking into account the phases:

4PH3(g) + 8O2(g) --> 6H2O(g) + P4O10(s)

According to the kinetic theory, collisions between molecules in a gas _____.
marin [14]
<span>One of the main tenets of kinetic molecular theory is the the molecules of gas conserve their kinetic energy perfectly when they collide with each other (or the walls of the container for that matter), thus keeping them in constant motion. Since this is the definition of then elastic collision (one in which kinetic energy is maintained), then the answer is "d. are perfectly elastic".</span>

Recalling that a beaker of water is two dimensional, what is the three dimensional shape of the micelle
saul85 [17]
A micelle refers to an aggregate of a surfactant molecule, which a dispersed in a liquied colloid. In an aqueous liquid, a micelle is arranged in such a way that its hydrophillic head region will be in contact with the surrounding solvents while the hydrophobic tail region will be embedded in its center. 
The three dimensional shape of a micelle is A SPHERE.

forsale [732]

Answer:

Heat lost to the surroundings

Heat lost to the thermometer

Explanation:

All changes in heat, or energy, can be explained. Many of the reactions or changes we see in the world involve the conversion of energy. For example as we heat up a substance (eg. water), the amount of energy we put in should give us an exact temperature. However, this is a "perfect world" scenario, and does not occur in real life. Whenever heat is added to a substance like water, we always need to account for the energy that is going to be lost. For example, heat lost to evaporation or even the effect of measuring the temperature with a thermometer (the introduction of anything including a thermometer will affect the temperature).
