The fertilizer contains 7.90 % P by mass.

<em>Assume</em> you have 100 g of fertilizer.

<em>Mass of P₄O₁₀</em> = 100 g fertilizer × 18.1 g P₄O₁₀/100 g fertilizer = 18.1 g P₄O₁₀

<em>M_r of P₄O₁₀</em> = 4 × 30.97 + 10× 16.00 = 123.88 + 160.00 = 283.88

<em>Mass of P</em> = 18.1 g P₄O₁₀ × (123.88 g P/283.88 g P₄O₁₀) = 7.90 g P  

<em>Mass % P</em> = mass/total mass × 100 % = 7.90 g /100 g × 100 % = 7.90 %

Atomic number and the number of protons are the same...
Neutrons = Mass number - number of protons
Electrons are same # unless there is a charge 
The whole number you see on the periodic table is the atomic number of the element which is also same as the number of protons

1) carbon - 14  ;  Mass number = 14 , Protons = 6 , Neutrons = 14 - 6 = 8 
                                Electrons = 6 

2) Lead - 208  ; Mass # = 208 , Protons = 82 , Neutrons = 208 - 82 = 126
                          Electrons = 82

3) Uranium - 239 ; Mass # = 239  , Protons  =  92,Neutrons = 239 - 92 = 147
                                 Electrons =  92

4) Uranium - 238  ; Mass # = 238 , Protons = 92 , Neutrons = 238 - 92 = 146
                                   
Electrons = 92 

5) Tin - 118  ; Mass # = 118 , Protons = 50 , Neutrons = 118 - 50 = 68
                         Electrons = 50

The number of ions in 17.1 gm of aluminum sulphate Al2 (SO4)3 =….. [Molar mass of Al2 (SO4)3 = 342 gm]
katen-ka-za [31]

Answer:

1.51 X 10^23 ions

Explanation:

The number of ions in 17.1 gm of aluminum sulphate Al2 (SO4)3 =….. [Molar mass of Al2 (SO4)3 = 342 gm]

in one molecule of Al2(SO4)3 there are 5 ions 2 aluminum and 3 sulfate ions

in 2 molecules there are 2X5= 10 ions

in 10 molecules there are 10X5 = 50 ions

molar mass of Al2(SO4)3 = (2 X 26.98) +( 3 X 32.1) + (3 X 4 X 16.0 ) =342.gms = 17.1/342 =0.0500 moles

1  mole =6.02 X 10^23 molecules ( see Avogadros number)

0.0500 moles = 0.0500 X 6.02 X 10^23 molecules =

0.301 X 10^23 molecules = 3.01 X 10^22 molecules

We determined that each molecule of Al2(SO4)3 has 5 ions

so 3.01 X10^22 molecules have 5 X 3.01 X 10^22 ions =

15.05 X 10^22 ions = 1.51 X 10^23 ions

What is the cation of Al2(SO4)3
Anon25 [30]

Answer:

Al has a 3+ charge, and SO4 has a 2- charge. So, it takes 3 of the SO4 anions to balance 2 of the Al cations. So, you get Al2(SO4)3

Which of the following Period 4 elements would be most li
dusya [7]

Answer:

K

Explanation:

The key aspect in this question is to look for Ionization Energy (EI), which describe the needed energy to take out an electron. Thefore, the potasiumm need lower energy . Another important thing is analyze how K will take nobel gas electron configuration when loss 1 electron, this It will be more stable
