<span>The composition of a fertilizer is usually express in NPK number. NPK number is in terms of Percent by mass of the said element which are Nitrogen, Phosphorus and Potassium. A 15-35-15 fertilizer has 15%
Nitrogen, 35% Phosphorous, and 15% Potassium by mass. If you have 10 g of this
fertilizer, to get the number of moles of phosphorus, you multiply the mass by
35%, which is equal to 10*0.35 or 3.5 g phosphorus. Then you divide the
calculated mass of phosphorous by its molar mass which is 30.97 g/mol.
Therefore, you have 3.5/30.97 which is equal to 0.1130 mol Phosphorus. This is the amount of Phosphorus in moles in the fertilizer.</span>

Answer:
The shape of the BF3 molecule is best described as trigonal planar.
Explanation:
The Lewis Structure for BF3 is like this:
_ _
| F | | F |
\ /
B
|
| F |
---
It forms three angles of 120° each. The bonds are in the same planar that's why it is trigonal planar and they are exactly the same.
Boron and Fluorine have 3 covalent bonds, produced by electronic promotion that enables the 2py and 2pz orbitals, leaving an electron to pair in the 2px. So boron will have 3 possible electrons to pair in 2s1, 2px and 2py, remember that electronic configuration for B is 1s2, 2s2, 2p1
By hybridization between the orbitals 2s2 and 2p1, the electrons of F, can joined to make the covalent bond. The new B configuration is 1s2, 2s1, 2px1, 2py1 (these last three, hybrid orbitals)
