<span>The NaCl is extracted three times to get maximum amount of it. Each extraction only yeilds about 50% of the NaCl from the water. So, after the tird extraction, you would have recieved around 87.5% of the total amount of NaCl from the water(50%+25%+12.5%). After the third extraction, the amount of salt in the water will only be a small amount.</span>

Properties of iron, barium, and phosphorus. Explain why nails are made of iron but they are never made of barium or phosphorus.
bearhunter [10]

As both phosphorous and barium are relatively weaker than iron ,phosphorus breaks easily and barium is also fairly weak. Iron nails are already also not that strong, but their weight and strength are sufficient.  

So the nails are made up of iron.
