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!

Answer is: the number of ions produced in the dissociation of aluminium fluoride is 4.
<span>
Chemical dissociation of aluminium fluoride in water:
AlF</span>₃(aq) → Al³⁺(aq) + 3F⁻(aq).<span>
There are four ions, one aluminium cation and three fluoride anions.
Aluminium has oxidation +3, because it lost three electrons, to have electron configuration as noble gas neon and fluorine has oxidation -1, because it gain one electron to </span>have electron configuration as noble gas neon.

How many grams of N2 gas are present in 1.13 L of gas at 2.09 atm and 291 K?
solong [7]

Answer:

Mass= 2.77g

Explanation:

Applying

P=2.09atm, V= 1.13L, R= 0.082, T= 291K, Mm of N2= 28

PV=nRT

NB

Moles(n) = m/M

PV=m/M×RT

m= PVM/RT

Substitute and Simplify

m= (2.09×1.13×28)/(0.082×291)

m= 2.77g
