 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.

How many grams of Cl2 are consumed to produce 12.0 g of KCl?
Alla [95]

The reaction is:

Cl2 + 2 KBr --> 2 KCl + Br2

Moles of KCl is

n = m /M = 12 /74 = 0.16 mol

As, twice the moles of KCl is producing from 1 mol of chlorine

mole of Cl2 = 0.16 /2 = 0.08 mol

Mass of Cl2

m /70 = 0.08 = 5.6 g

Hence, 5.6 g mol Cl2 consumed to produce KCl
