Olegator [25]2 years ago
7 0

Answer:

6

Explanation:

Significant figures:

The given measurement have six significant figures 120.090.

All non-zero digits are consider significant figures like 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9.

Leading zeros are not consider as a significant figures. e.g. 0.03 in this number only one significant figure present which is 3.

Zero between the non zero digits are consider significant like 104 consist of three significant figures.

The zeros at the right side e.g 2400 are also significant. There are four significant figures are present.

In 120.090 the zero before and after 9 are also significant.

All modern fertilizers use PO43- as a source of phosphorus. Use your knowledge of the old methods to determine the moles of phos
tamaranim1 [39]

Answer:

The answer is 0.023 moles of phosphorus

Explanation:

The 15-15-15 fertilizer is a fertilizer of great versatility, made with nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium, which makes it one of the fertilizers most used for fertilizer in the sowing plant, thus covering the crop requirements from planting. .

This fertilizer consists of 14.25% phosphorus pentoxide (P2O5). Therefore, we have to remove 14.25% at 10 grams of 15-15-15 fertilizer to calculate the moles of phosphorus. As follows:

Grams of P2O5 = 10 g x 0.1425 = 1.425 g

We calculate the molecular weight of phosphorus. We use the periodic table:

Phosphorus molecular weight = 2 x 30.97 = 61.94 g/mol

Now we calculate the moles of phosphorus in the fertilizer:

Phosphorus moles = 1,425 g/61.94 g/mol = 0.023 moles

An ionic bond occurs between what particles?
atroni [7]

Answer:

A positive and negative ion.

Explanation:

Ionic bond:

It is the bond which is formed by the transfer of electron from one atom to the atom of another element.  

Both bonded atoms have very large electronegativity difference.

The atom with large electronegativity value accept the electron from other with smaller value of electronegativity.

For example:

Sodium chloride is ionic compound. The electronegativity of chlorine is 3.16 and for sodium is 0.93. There is large difference is present. That's why electron from sodium is transfer to the chlorine. Sodium becomes positive and chlorine becomes negative ion.  Sodium have one valance electron while chlorine have 7 valance electrons. In order to complete the octet chlorine require one electron while sodium need to lose its one electrons. That's why when both atom combine sodium lose its electron and becomes positive ion i.e cation while chlorine accept its electron and becomes negative ion called anion and bond between them is ionic bond.

In the following reaction, how many moles of CO2 will form if 10 moles of C3H4 are reacted? How many moles of O2 will also be co
umka2103 [35]

Answer:

40 moles of O₂

30 moles of CO₂

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Number of moles of C₃H₄  = 10moles

Unknown:

Number of moles of CO₂ = ?

Solution:

The number of moles helps to understand and make quantitative measurements involving chemical reactions.

We start by solving this sort of problem by ensuring that the given equation is properly balanced;

        C₃H₄    +      4O₂    →     3CO₂     +      2H₂O

We can clearly see that all the atoms are conserved.

Now, we work from the known to unknown. We know the number of moles of  C₃H₄ to be 10moles;

             1 mole of  C₃H₄ reacted with 4 moles of O₂

              10 moles of C₃H₄ will react with 10 x 4 = 40moles of O₂

      1 mole of  C₃H₄ will produce 3 moles of CO₂

       10 moles of C₃H₄ will produce 10 x 3 = 30moles of CO₂
