Answer:

a)The mass percentages of nitrogen and phosphorus in the compound is 24.34% and 26.95% respectively.

b) 14.78 grams ammonia is incorporated into 100. g of compound.

Explanation:

a) Ammonium dihydrogen phosphate that is NH_6PO_4.

Molecular mass of ammonium dihydrogen phosphate = M

M = 115 g/mol

Percentage of an element in a compound:

\frac{\text{Number of atoms of element}\times \text{Atomic mass of element}}{\text{molecular mass of element}}\times 100

Percentage of nitrogen:

\frac{1\times 28 g/mol}{115 g/mol}\times 100=24.34\%

Percentage of phosphorus:

\frac{1\times 31g/mol}{115 g/mol}\times 100=26.95\%

b) Percentage of ammonia in 1 molecule of ammonium dihydrogen phosphate.

Molar mass of ammonia = 17 g/mol

\%=\frac{17 g/mol}{115 g/mol}\times 100=14.78\%

Amount of ammonia in 100 grams of compound:

14.78% of 100 g of ammonium dihydrogen phosphate:

\frac{14.78}{100}\times 100 g=14.78 g

14.78 grams ammonia is incorporated into 100. g of compound.

Blizzard [7]

Answer: At the point when space experts take a gander at an article's range, they can decide its arrangement dependent on these frequencies. The most well-known technique stargazers use to decide the sythesis of stars, planets, and different articles is spectroscopy. This spread-out light is known as a range.

Complete question is;

Identify the type of reaction in the chemical reaction below:

2P205 ➡️ 4P + 502

single replacement

synthesis

decomposition

combustion

double replacement

Answer:

Decomposition

Explanation:

We. An see in the question that the compound 2P205 is broken down into simpler substances which are phosphorus (P) and oxygen (O).

Now, this is a decomposition reaction because a decomposition reaction is one in which a compound is broken down into simpler substances
