An impurity sometimes found in Ca₃(PO₄)₂ is Fe₂O₃, which is removed during the production of phosphorus as ferrophosphorus (Fe₂P

).(a) Why is this impurity troubling from an economic standpoint?

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

Ammonia can be produced in the laboratory by heating ammonium chloride
AnnyKZ [126]

Answer:

Mass = 2.89 g

Explanation:

Given data:

Mass of NH₄Cl = 8.939 g

Mass of Ca(OH)₂ = 7.48 g

Mass of ammonia produced = ?

Solution:

2NH₄Cl   +  Ca(OH)₂     →    CaCl₂ + 2NH₃ + 2H₂O

Number of moles of NH₄Cl:

Number of moles = mass/molar mass

Number of moles = 8.939 g / 53.5 g/mol

Number of moles = 0.17 mol

Number of moles of Ca(OH)₂ :

Number of moles = mass/molar mass

Number of moles = 7.48 g / 74.1 g/mol

Number of moles = 0.10 mol

Now we will compare the moles of ammonia with both reactant.

                      NH₄Cl          :          NH₃

                          2              :           2

                         0.17          :          0.17

                   Ca(OH)₂         :          NH₃

                        1                :           2

                    0.10              :          2/1×0.10 = 0.2 mol

Less number of moles of ammonia are produced by ammonium chloride it will act as limiting reactant.

Mass of ammonia:

Mass = number of moles × molar mass

Mass = 0.17 mol × 17 g/mol

Mass = 2.89 g

Special Structures in Plant Cells. Most organelles are common to both animal and plant cells. However, plant cells also have features that animal cells do not have: a cell wall, a large central vacuole, and plastids such as chloroplasts.
