Both abiotic and biotic components of the Earth's system, particularly the biosphere, hydrosphere, and geosphere,  phosphorus. Phosphorus cycle cannot be found in the gaseous state in air, in contrast to the compounds of other matter cycles.

This is due to the fact that phosphorus is typically liquid at standard pressures and temperatures. It mostly cycles through sediments, water, and soil. Phosphorus is primarily present in the environment as very minute dust particles. Phosphorous can also be delivered by water or wind in the form of phosphate (both abiotic). Living plants absorb phosphorus, and these plants can either die and be degraded by other living species or they can die and be consumed by other living organisms.

The most common cooling mechanism for cloud formation is ________.
KatRina [158]
The answer is "Rising and expanding air or atmosphere cooling".
To form a cloud the air must be cooled to the temperature of dew point. when there is expansion of air, it cools to the dew point and thus the formation of cloud happens. This process is very common and used for the formation of clouds.

Which compound contains both covalent and ionic bonds? <br> a. NCl3 b. NaF c. HCN d. NH4OH
Marina86 [1]
<h2>NH_4OH contains both covalent and ionic bonds.</h2>

Explanation:

A covalent bond is formed when an element shares its valence electron with another element. This bond is formed between two non metals.

An ionic bond is formed when an element completely transfers its valence electron to another element. The element which donates the electron is known as electropositive element or the metal and the element which accepts the electrons is known as electronegative element or non metal.

a. NCl_3 contain covalent bonds as they are made up of non metals only.

b. NaF contain ionic bonds as they are made up of sodium metal and fluorine non metal.

c. HCN contain covalent bonds as they are made up of non metals only.

d. NH_4OH contain  ionic bonds between NH_4 and OH and covalent between N and H in NH_4^+

Sodium phosphate is added to a solution that contains 0.0030 M aluminum nitrate and 0.016 M calcium chloride. The concentration
gavmur [86]

Explanation:

It is given that aluminium nitrate and calcium chloride are mixed together with sodium phosphate.

And, K_{sp} of AlPO_{4} = 9.84 \times 10^{-21}

        K_{sp} of Ca_{3}(PO_{4})_{2} = 2.0 \times 10^{-29}

Let us assume that the solubility be "s". And, the reaction equation is as follows.

        AlPO_{4} \rightleftharpoons Al^{3+} + PO^{3-}_{4}

     9.84 \times 10^{-21} = s \times s

             s = 9.92 \times 10^{-11}

Also,     Ca_{3}(PO_{4})_{2} \rightleftharpoons 3Ca^{2+} + 2PO^{3-}_{4}

                2 \times 10^{-29} = (3s)^{3} \times (2s)^{2}

                            s = 7.14 \times 10^{-7}

This means that first, aluminium phosphate will precipitate.

Now, we will calculate the concentration of phosphate when calcium phosphate starts to precipitate out using the K_{sp} expression as follows.

         K_{sp} = [Ca^{2+}]^{3}[PO^{3-}_{4}]^{2}

          2.0 \times 10^{-29} = (0.016)^{3}[PO^{3-}_{4}]^{2}

       2.0 \times 10^{-29} = 4.096 \times 10^{-6} \times [PO^{3-}_{4}]^{2}

       [PO^{3-}_{4}]^{2} = 4.88 \times 10^{-24}

                             = 2.21 \times 10^{-12} M

Similarly, calculate the concentration of aluminium at this concentration of phosphate as follows.

             AlPO_{4} \rightleftharpoons Al^{3+} + PO^{3-}_{4}

           K_{sp} = [Al^{3+}][PO^{3-}_{4}]

       9.84 \times 10^{-21} = [Al^{3+}] \times 2.21 \times 10^{-12}

                [Al^{3+}] = 4.45 \times 10^{-9} M

Thus, we can conclude that concentration of aluminium will be 4.45 \times 10^{-9} M when calcium begins to precipitate.
