Answer: 25%

Explanation: According to the Florida Industrial and Phosphate Research Institute, Florida’s phosphate mining accounts for about 75% of the phosphate used in the United States, as well as about 25% phosphate used around the world. Although first mined in England in 1847, and used as fertilizer, In 1881, a civilian employee, J Francis Le Baron discovered Phosphate pebbles in peace river, and then, a hard rock phosphate district was discovered in north central Florida after that which began the Phosphate mining industry in Florida. Phosphorus rock supplies the phosphorus element in the fertilizer mix of nitrogen-phosphorus-potassium that is used as fertilizer to aid in growth of plants.

ankoles [38]

It will sink below the surface. Since dish soap is a surfactant, it will alter the water's surface tension. Lowering the surface tension, the water will no longer be able to support the mass of the twig.

The weak base ionization<br> constant (Kb) for HCO3 is<br> equal to:

hammer [34]

Weak bases are alkaline solution that does not get completely dissociated. The dissociation constant will be the ratio of the concentration of the products to the reactants.

<h3>What is a weak base ionization constant?</h3>

The weak base ionization constant is the equilibrium constant that is given as the division of the products of the ionization to the concentration of the reactants.

The reaction for HCO₃ is given as:

HCO₃⁻ + OH⁻ ⇄ CO₃²⁻ + H₂O

The value of Ka for the given reaction will be:

Ka = [CO₃²⁻][H₂O] ÷ [HCO₃⁻ ][OH⁻]

Therefore, the Ka of the weak carbonic acid is given as the ratio of the concentration of the products to the reactants.

A bomb calorimeter has a heat capacity of 675 J/°C and contains 925 g of water. If the combustion of 0.500 mole of a hydrocarbon

ikadub [295]

<u>Answer:</u> The enthalpy of the reaction is 269.4 kJ/mol

<u>Explanation:</u>

To calculate the heat absorbed by the calorimeter, we use the equation:

$q_1=c\Delta T$

where,

q = heat absorbed

c = heat capacity of calorimeter = 675 J/°C

$\Delta T$ = change in temperature = $T_2-T_1=(53.88-24.26)^oC=29.62^oC$

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$q_1=675J/^oC\times 29.62^oC=19993.5J$

To calculate the heat absorbed by water, we use the equation:

$q_2=mc\Delta T$

where,

q = heat absorbed

m = mass of water = 925 g

c = heat capacity of water = 4.186 J/g°C

$\Delta T$ = change in temperature = $T_2-T_1=(53.88-24.26)^oC=29.62^oC$

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$q_2=925g\times 4.186J/g^oC\times 29.62^oC=114690.12J$

Total heat absorbed = $q_1+q_2$

Total heat absorbed = $[19993.5+114690.12]J=134683.62J=134.7kJ$

To calculate the enthalpy change of the reaction, we use the equation:

$\Delta H_{rxn}=\frac{q}{n}$

where,

q = amount of heat absorbed = 134.7 kJ

n = number of moles of hydrocarbon = 0.500 moles

$\Delta H_{rxn}$ = enthalpy change of the reaction

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$\Delta H_{rxn}=\frac{134.7kJ}{0.500mol}=269.4kJ/mol$

Hence, the enthalpy of the reaction is 269.4 kJ/mol
