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!

Convert 2.39 x 1022 molecules of water into moles of water
torisob [31]

Answer:

0.0397\ \text{mol}

Explanation:

Number of molecules of water = 2.39\times 10^{22}

N_A = Avogadro's number = 6.022\times 10^{23}\ \text{mol}^{-1}

Number of moles is given by

\dfrac{2.39\times 10^{22}}{6.022\times 10^{23}}

=0.0397\ \text{mol}

The number of moles of water is 0.0397\ \text{mol}.

Number 39! Please explain step by step!!!
ahrayia [7]

Answer:

The answer to your question is The honda civic hybrid weights 13181.8 N or 1318.2 kg

Explanation:

Data

Weight = 2900 lb

Weight = ? N

mass = ? kg

1 kg ------- 10 N

0.22lb ---- 1N

Use proportions to solve this problem

                        0.22 lb ------------------- 1 N

                        2900 lb -----------------  x

                         x = (2900 x 1) / 0.22

                         x = 2900 / 0.22

                        x = 13181.8 N

                          1 kg ----------------------- 10 N

                           x     ----------------------- 13181.8 N

                           x = (13181.8 x 1)/10

                           x = 1318.2 kg
