Stells [14]3 years ago
4 0

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.

From the list below, choose which groups are part of the periodic table. metals acids flammable gases nonmetals semimetals ores
iris [78.8K]

The periodic table of the elements are describe the electronic configuration of the elements on which the properties of the elements depends. Among the given groups only metal, non-metal and semi-metal group are the part of periodic table. The metallic property depends upon the binding energy of the electrons with the nucleus. Thus the elements which have the valence electrons more near to the nucleus that is s-block elements are more metallic in nature. On the other hand the elements which have the valence electrons far from the nucleus are more non-metallic in nature like p-block elements. However the binding energy or the attraction of the outermost electrons to the nucleus depends not only its valence electrons position but also some other factors like shielding effect, effective nuclear charge etc.

The elements which are in between the metals and non-metals can be classified as semi-metals.

Although the conductivity of a material is an inherent property of the metals but sometime the nonmetals or semi-metals are also behave like a conductor due to presence of the other elements, thus it cannot be a p[property of the periodic table. Similarly acidity, flammable gases are not part of the periodic table.

1. How many ATOMS of carbon are present in 7.48 grams of carbon monoxide ?
Salsk061 [2.6K]

Answer:

The answer is 1.61 × 10²³ atoms

Explanation:

To determine number of atoms, we will use the formula below

Number of atoms = number of moles (n) × avogadro's constant (6.02 x 10²³)

n was not provided, hence we will solve for n

n = mass/ molar mass

molar mass of carbon monoxide, CO (where C is 12 and O is 16) is 12 + 16 = 28

mass was provided in the question as 7.48

n = 7.48/28

n = 0.267

Hence,

number of atoms = 0.267 × 6.02 x 10²³

= 1.61 × 10²³ atoms

37.5ml of menthol is dissolved in water to make 456 ml of solution, what is the concentration expressed in volume/volume % of th
Ahat [919]

Answer:

V/V% = 8.2%

Explanation:

Given data:

Volume of methanol = 37.5 mL

Volume of solution = 456 mL

V/V% = ?

Solution:

V/V% = [volume of solute / volume of solution ]×100

V/V% = 37.5 mL / 456 mL × 100

V/V% = 0.08× 100

V/V% = 8.2%
