Phosphorus can be prepared from calcium phosphate by the following reaction:

2Ca_3(PO_4)_2(s)+6SiO_2(s)+10C(s)\rightarrow 6CaSiO_3(s)+P_4(s)+ 10CO(g)

Phosphorite is a mineral that contains Ca_3(PO_4)_2 plus other non-phosphorus-containing compounds. What is the maximum amount of P_4 that can be produced from 2.3 kg of phosphorite if the phorphorite sample is 75% Ca_3(PO_4)_2 by mass? Assume an excess of the other reactants.

Answer: Thus the maximum amount of P_4 that can be produced is 0.345 kg

Explanation:

Given mass of phosphorite Ca_3(PO_4)_2  = 2.3 kg

As given percentage of phosphorite Ca_3(PO_4)_2 is = \frac{75}{100}\times 2.3kg=1.725kg=1725g

moles=\frac{\text {given mass}}{\text {Molar mass}}

{\text {moles of}Ca_3(PO_4)_2=\frac{1725g}{310g/mol}=5.56moles

2Ca_3(PO_4)_2(s)+6SiO_2(s)+10C(s)\rightarrow 6CaSiO_3(s)+P_4(s)+ 10CO(g)

According to stoichiometry:

2 moles of phosphorite gives = 1 mole of P_4

Thus 5.56 moles of phosphorite give= \frac{1}{2}\times 5.56=2.78moles of P_4

Mass of P_4=moles\times {\text {Molar mass}}=2.78mol\times 124g/mol=345g=0.345kg

Thus the maximum amount of P_4 that can be produced is 0.345 kg

A student has two compounds in two separate bottles but with no labels on either one. One is an unbranched alkane, octane, C8H18
Aleks [24]

Answer:

a) both substances are insoluble in water

b) both substances are soluble in ligroin

c) both substances suffer combustion, octane produces more CO₂ than hexene.

d) both substances are less dense than waterl, with hexene having the lowest density.

e) only hexene would react with bromine

f)  only hexene would react with permanganate

Explanation:

a) both substances are non-polar and water is polar

b) both substances are non-polar and lingroin is non-polar

c) C₈H₁₈ + 17.5O₂ → 8CO₂ + 9H₂O

    C₆H₁₂ + 9O₂ → 6CO₂ + 6H₂O

d) water = 997 kg/m³

    ocatne = 703 kg/m³

    hexene = 673 kg/m³

e) bromine test is used to detect unsaturations

f) permanganate test is used to detect unsaturations

SIZIF [17.4K]

Answer:

30 hot dogs

Explanation:

It is given that :

There are 4 packets of eight wieners, i.e. 4 x 8 = 32 wieners

There are 3 bags of ten buns, i.e. 3 x 10 = 30 buns

One hot dogs need 1 bun and 1 wiener to make a hot dog.

There are 30 buns, so 30 hot dogs can be made out by using all the 30 buns and the 30 wieners out of the 32 wieners.

Therefore, 30 hot dogs.

And the number of extra wieners left = 32 - 30 = 2 wieners.

What do all atoms of the same element have
nordsb [41]

Answer:

All atoms of the same element have always have the same amount of protons.

Explanation:

Atoms of the same element have always have the same amount of protons but not always the same electrons and neutrons. If an atom gains or loses one of its valance electrons, the electrons on the outermost shell, then it becomes ionized. Also not all atoms of the same element have the same amount of neutron. This is called an isotope. A good example would be Carbon 13. Normally, Carbon atoms have an atomic mass of 12 AMU or 12 atomic mass units. However, Carbon atoms have an atomic mass of 13 AMU, consisting of 7 neutrons instead of 6 neutrons. So the only thing that all atoms of the same element have in common is the amount of protons.
