Fertilizer is sold in 100 pound bags labelled with the amount of nitrogen ( N), phosphoric acid ( P2O5), and potash ( K2O) prese

nt. The mixture of these nutrients varies from one type of fertilizer to the next. For example, a 100 pound bag of Vigoro Ultra Turf fertilizer contains 29 pounds of nitrogen, 3 pounds of phosphoric acid, and 4 pounds of potash. Another type of fertilizer, Parkerâs Premium Starter, has 18 pounds of nitrogen, 25 pounds of phosphoric acid, and 6 pounds of potash per 100 pounds. Determine the amount of each type required to yield a mixture containing the 177 pounds of nitrogen, 134 pounds of phosphoric acid, and 42 pounds of potash.

Answer:

You need to add 3 100 pound bags of  Parkerâs Premium Starter and 5 100 pound bags of Vigoro Ultra Turf fertilizer

Explanation:

You can obtain 3 equations. One for each compound:

For N:

177 pounds = 29x + 18y <em>(1) </em>

<em>-</em><em>Where x are bags of Vigoro Ultra Turf fertilizer</em><em> </em><em>and y are bags of  </em>Parkerâs Premium Starte-

For P₂O₅:

134 pounds = 3x + 25y <em>(2)</em>

For K₂O:

42 pounds = 4x + 6y <em>(3)</em>

Replacing (1) in (2):

134 = (531/29 - 54y/29) + 25y

3355/29 = 671y/29

<em>y = 5 bags</em>

Thus,

<em>x = 3 bags</em>

You can replace in each equation to prove that this is the right result.

I hope it helps!

many reactive chemicals are stored in containers filled with Argon gas for safekeeping what about Argon's atomic structure makes
Ulleksa [173]

Answer:

Argon has 8 valence electrons making it non reactive.

Explanation:

Reactive chemicals are store in containers filled with Argon gas because the argon gas is non reactive. This is true because the argon gas has completely filled octet structure.

This can further be explained by writing the electronic configuration of argon.

The electronic configuration of argon is given below:

Ar (18) => 1s² 2s²2p⁶ 3s²3p⁶

Valence electron => 3s²3p⁶ = 2 + 6 = 8

From the above illustration, we can see that the outermost shell (i.e 3s²3p⁶) is having 8 electrons indicating that it is completely filled as the maximum number of electrons any shell can accommodate outside the first shell is 8 electrons. Thus, argon has 8 valence electrons ( i.e electrons in the outermost shell) and hence it is non reactive as the outermost shell is completely filled.
