Most of the mass of an atom is located in the (nucleus), and most of the volume is taken up by the (electron clouds).
The ones in the parenthesis are your answers.
Hope this helps!
Answer:
3.89 kg P2O5 must be used to supply 1.69 kg Phosphorus to the soil.
Explanation:
The molecular mass of P2O5 is
P2 = 2* 31 = 62
O5 = 5 *<u> 16 = 80</u>
Molecular Mass = 142
Set up a Proportion
142 grams P2O5 supplies 62 grams of phosphorus
x kg P2O5 supplies 1.69 kg of phosphorus
Though this might be a bit anti intuitive, you don't have to convert the units for this question. The ratio is all that is important.
142/x = 62/1.69 Cross multiply
142 * 1.69 = 62x combine the left
239.98 = 62x Divide by 62
239.98/62 = x
3.89 kg of P2O5 must be used.
SiO2 is the only possible choice because the other formulas contain metals. how do we know this? because the other formulas contain elements located on the left of the “staircase” on the periodic table that separates metals from non-metals.
Group 1A(1), the alkali metals, includes lithium, sodium, and potassium. Group 7A(17) the halogens, includes chlorine, bromine, and iodine. hope this helps:)
