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.

Arrange the compounds in order of decreasing magnitude of lattice energy:
Alik [6]

Answer:

The correct answer is CaO > LiBr > KI.

Explanation:

Lattice energy is directly proportional to the charge and is inversely proportional to the size. The compound LiBr comprises Li+ and Br- ions, KI comprises K+ and I- ions, and CaO comprise Ca²⁺ and O²⁻ ions.  

With the increase in the charge, there will be an increase in lattice energy. In the given case, the lattice energy of CaO will be the highest due to the presence of +2 and -2 ions. K⁺ ions are larger than Li⁺ ion, and I⁻ ions are larger than Br⁻ ion.  

The distance between Li⁺ and Br⁻ ions in LiBr is less in comparison to the distance between K⁺ and I⁻ ions in KI. As a consequence, the lattice energy of LiBr is greater than KI. Therefore, CaO exhibits the largest lattice energy, while KI the smallest.
