 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.

Place the following substances in Order of decreasing boiling point H20 N2 CO
kirill [66]

Answer:

-195.8º < -191.5º < 100º

Explanation:

Water, or H20, starts boiling at 100ºC.

Nitrogen, or N2, starts boiling at -195.8ºC.

Carbon monoxide, or C0, starts boiling at -191.5ºC.

When we place these in order from decreasing boiling point:

-195.8º goes first, then -191.5º, and 100º goes last.

HELP!!!!!
faltersainse [42]

Answer:

5.17.

Explanation:

<em>∵ [H₃O⁺][OH⁻] = 10⁻¹⁴. </em>

[OH⁻] = 1.5  x 10⁻⁹ M.

∴ [H₃O⁺] = 10⁻¹⁴/[OH⁻] = 10⁻¹⁴/(1.5  x 10⁻⁹ M) = 6.66 × 10⁻⁶ M.

∵ pH = - log[H₃O⁺]

<em>∴ pH = - log(6.66 × 10⁻⁶ M) = 5.17. </em>

Calculate the average atomic mas of an unknown element that has two naturally-occurring isotopes.
professor190 [17]
The average atomic mass if the element above is calculated by the sum of the product of the isotope abundance and its atomic mass unit. It is expressed as:

Average atomic mass = Σ xi(Mi)
<span>Average atomic mass = (.7547 x 248.7) + (.2453 x 249.4) = 248.87
</span>
Hope this helps.
