This impurity is troubling from an economic standpoint because it lead to decrease in the yield of phosphorus

  • Ferrophosphorus is a byproduct of phosphorus production in submerged-arc furnaces , by their reduction with carbon. It is formed from the iron oxide impurities.
  • Iron impurities present in the calcium phosphate will be precipitated out as the iron phosphate which eventually will lead to the decrease in the yield of phosphorous during the production of phosphorous.

Thus we can conclude that Fe₂P causes decrease in yield

What is the equation for photosynthesis?
AlladinOne [14]

Answer: the process of photosynthesis is commonly written as: 6CO2 + 6H2O → C6H12O6 + 6O2. This means that the reactants, six carbon dioxide molecules and six water molecules, are converted by light energy captured by chlorophyll (implied by the arrow) into a sugar molecule and six oxygen molecules, the products.

Why is the increasing amount of carbon dioxide being taken up by the oceans a cause for concern?
Anna007 [38]

Answer;

-More carbon dioxide causes an increase in carbonic acid (H2CO3) which leads to a decrease in the concentration of carbonate ion (CO32-).

Explanation;

-Carbon dioxide is added to the atmosphere whenever people burn fossil fuels. Oceans play an important role in keeping the Earth's carbon cycle in balance.

-As the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere increases, the oceans absorb a lot of it. In the ocean, carbon dioxide reacts with seawater to form carbonic acid which causes the acidity of seawater to increase.

-As long as we keep putting extra carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, the acidity of the ocean will continue to increase. The effect is that; Increasing acidity makes it harder for corals to build skeletons and for shellfish to build the shells they need for protection. Corals are particularly important because they provide homes for many other sea creatures.

How many moles of electrons are required to reduce one mole of MnO4- to one mole of Mn2+? (2 points)
Dafna1 [17]
The answer would be 6 e-. This is becuase you are turning a charge of -4 into a +2. In order to do this, you transfer 4 electrons for a neutral charge, and an additional 2 for a charge of +2.

This makes a total charge of +2, and the total transferred electrons 6 e-
