 The ore contains 55.4% calcium phosphate (related to the mineral apatite) so the amount of Ca3(PO4)2 is 55.4%x=1000g so x=1000/0.554= 1.805kg. Now for the % of P in this amount of calcium phosphate, use all the masses of the elements in Ca3PO4= Ca=40.078 x 3= 120.23 and (PO4)2= (30.974+64)2=189.95  (NB oxygen is 16 mass x 4 =64) so the total mass is 310.2 and we have 61.95 of P (Pmass x 2) so 61.95/3102.= 0.19 or 19% P. So of the 1.805 x 0.19= 0.34kg of phosphorus.

Fudgin [204]

Answer:

2K+(aq) + CO3²¯(aq) + Ca^2+(aq) + 2F¯(aq) —› Cu2CO3(s) + 2K+(aq) + 2F¯(aq)

Explanation:

K2CO3(aq) + 2CuF(aq) → Cu2CO3(s) + 2KF(aq)

The complete ionic equation for the above equation can be written as follow:

In solution, K2CO3 and CuF will dissociate as follow:

K2CO3(aq) —› 2K+(aq) + CO3²¯(aq)

CuF(aq) —› Ca^2+(aq) + 2F¯(aq)

Thus, we can write the complete ionic equation for the reaction as shown below:

K2CO3(aq) + 2CuF(aq) —›

2K+(aq) + CO3²¯(aq) + Ca^2+(aq) + 2F¯(aq) —› Cu2CO3(s) + 2K+(aq) + 2F¯(aq)

A gas has a mass of 3.82 g and occupies a volume of 0.854 L. The temperature in the laboratory is 302 K, and the air pressure is
4vir4ik [10]

m = given mass of gas = 3.82 g

M = molar mass of gas = ?

T = temperature of laboratory = 302 K

P = air pressure = 1.04 atm = 1.04 x 101325 pa

V = volume of gas = 0.854 L = 0.854 x 10⁻³ m³

using the ideal gas equation

PV = (m/M) RT

inserting the above values

(1.04 x 101325) (0.854 x 10⁻³) = (3.82/M) (8.314) (302)

M = 106.6 g

hence the molar mass of the gas comes out to be 106.6 g

How much heat is absorbed/released when 25.00 g of NH3(g) reacts in the presence of excess O2(g) to produce NO(g) and H2O(l) acc
Novay_Z [31]

Answer:

429.4 kJ are absorbed in the endothermic reaction.

Explanation:

The balanced chemical equation tells us that 1168 kJ of heat are absorbed in the reaction when 4 mol of NH₃ (g) react with 5 mol O₂ (g).

So what we need is to calculates how many moles represent 25 g NH₃(g) and calculate the heat absorbed. (NH₃ is the limiting reagent)

Molar Mass NH₃  = 17.03 g/mol

mol NH₃ = 25.00 g/ 17.03 g/mol = 1.47 mol

1168 kJ /4 mol NH₃  x 1.47 mol  NH₃ =  429.4 kJ

Heavy nuclides with too few neutrons to be in the band of stability are most likely to decay by what mode?
Margarita [4]

Answer:

Positron emission

Explanation:

Positron emission involves the conversion of a proton to a neutron. This process increases the mass number of the daughter nucleus by 1 while its atomic number remains the same. The new neutron increases the number of neutrons present in the daughter nucleus hence the process increases the N/P ratio.

A positron is usually ejected in the process together with an anti-neutrino to balance the spins.
