 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.

Determine the heat given off to the surroundings when 9.0 g of aluminum (fm = 26.98) reacts according to the equation 2al + fe2o
Akimi4 [234]

Hey there!:

Number of moles:

Molar Mass Al = 26.98 g/mol

n = mass / molar mass

n = 9.0 / 26.98

n = 0.3336 moles of Al

Given the reaction :

2 Al + Fe2O3 = Al2O3 + 2 Fe

From the equation, 2 moles of Al give off 849 kJ of heat :

Actual heat given off :

0.3336 / 2 * 849 =

0.3336 / 1698 = 1.4*10² Kj


Hope that helps!

A graduated cylinder was filled with 25.0 mL of water. A solid object was immersed in the cylinder, raising the water level to 3
yawa3891 [41]

Answer:

Density of the object is 8759.494 grams/L

Explanation:

As we know density of an object is mass of the object divided by its volume

Given

Volume of the object is equal to the change in volume of water with in the cylinder when the object was immersed in water.

Hence, volume of object is equal to

32.9 -25 = 7.9 mL

Mass of the object is 69.2 grams

Density

= \frac{69.2}{7.9 *10^{-3}}\\= 8759.494 grams/L

Density of the object is 8759.494 grams/L
