 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.

Enter the ions formed when (NH4)2S dissolves in water.
lisabon 2012 [21]

The ions formed are NH4(+) and S(2-)

The dissolution reaction of (NH4) 2S in water is as follows:


(NH4) 2S ==> 2 NH4 (+) + S (2-).



Ammonium sulfide is the ammonium salt of hydrogen sulfide. It has the formula (NH4) 2S and belongs to the sulfide family.


It is a relatively unstable compound (crystals decomposing at -18 ° C, but exists and is more stable in aqueous solution.) With a pKa exceeding 15, the hydrosulfide ion cannot be significantly deprotonated by ammonia. Thus, such solutions consist mainly of a mixture of ammonia and hydrosulphide of ammonium, it has a smell, close to that of hydrogen sulfide, and its aqueous solutions can be precisely by emitting H2S.

What are the two ways in which pressure can be increased?
icang [17]
Raised temperature, decreased volume.

Temperature and Pressure are directly related, when volume increases so does the your pressure.

Volume and Pressure are indirectly related. When volume decreases, your pressure will increase.

How does a scientific theory differ from a guess or an opinion?​
natima [27]

Answer:

Scientific theory differs from a guess or opinion because a scientific theory is a system of ideas that explains many related observation and is supported by a large body of evidence acquired through scientific investigation while guesses and opinions may not reliably predict an outcome, have evidence to back up the theory
