Answer:

3.89 kg P2O5 must be used to supply 1.69 kg Phosphorus to the soil.

Explanation:

The molecular mass of P2O5 is

P2 = 2* 31 = 62

O5 = 5 *<u> 16 = 80</u>

Molecular Mass = 142

Set up a Proportion

142 grams P2O5 supplies 62 grams of phosphorus

x kg P2O5 supplies 1.69 kg of phosphorus

Though this might be a bit anti intuitive, you don't have to convert the units for this question. The ratio is all that is important.

142/x = 62/1.69 Cross multiply

142 * 1.69 = 62x combine the left

239.98 = 62x Divide by 62

239.98/62 = x

3.89 kg of P2O5 must be used.

When aqueous solutions of K3PO4 and Ba(NO3)2 are combined, Ba3(PO4)2 precipitates. Calculate the mass, in grams, of the Ba3(PO4)

Firdavs [7]

Answer:

Mass of Ba₃(PO₄)₂ = 0.0361 g

Explanation:

Given data:

Volume of Ba(NO₃)₂ = 1.2 mL (1.2 × 10⁻³ L )

Molarity of Ba(NO₃)₂ = 0.152 M

Volume of K₃PO₄ = 4.2 mL (4.2 × 10⁻³ L)

Molarity of K₃PO₄ = 0.604 M

Mass of Ba₃(PO₄)₂ produced = ?

Solution:

Chemical equation:

3Ba(NO₃)₂ + 2K₃PO₄ → Ba₃(PO₄)₂ + 6KNO₃

Number of moles of Ba(NO₃)₂ = Molarity × Volume in litter

Number of moles of Ba(NO₃)₂ = 0.152 M × 1.2 × 10⁻³ L

Number of moles of Ba(NO₃)₂ = 0.182 × 10⁻³ mol

Number of moles of K₃PO₄ = Molarity × Volume in litter

Number of moles of K₃PO₄ = 0.604 M × 4.2 × 10⁻³ L

Number of moles of K₃PO₄ = 2.537 × 10⁻³ mol

Now we will compare the moles of Ba₃(PO₄)₂ with K₃PO₄ and Ba(NO₃)₂ .

Ba(NO₃)₂ : Ba₃(PO₄)₂

3 : 1

0.182 × 10⁻³ : 1/3 ×0.182 × 10⁻³ = 0.060 × 10⁻³ mol

K₃PO₄ : Ba₃(PO₄)₂

2 : 1

2.537 × 10⁻³ : 1/2 × 2.537 × 10⁻³= 1.269 × 10⁻³ mol

The number of moles of Ba₃(PO₄)₂ produced by Ba(NO₃)₂ are less it will limiting reactant.

Mass of Ba₃(PO₄)₂ = moles × molar mass

Mass of Ba₃(PO₄)₂ = 0.060 × 10⁻³ mol × 601.93 g/mol

Mass of Ba₃(PO₄)₂ = 36.12 × 10⁻³ g

Mass of Ba₃(PO₄)₂ = 0.0361 g

Which statement explains why catalysts are important for living

Marina86 [1]

Answer:

Catalysts allow chemical reactions to occur at temperatures at which the organism lives.

Explanation:

Catalysts are molecules that speeden the rate of chemical reaction by lowering the activation energy of the reaction. In a living system, the catalyst are ENZYMES, which help to hasten up many biochemical reactions.

Another function of catalyst in living systems is that it allows chemical reactions to occur at temperatures at which the organism lives.
