Answer:

a. 300 kg of Fertilizer

b. 225 kg of fertilizer

c.400 Kg of fertilizer

d.600 Kg of fertilizer

Explanation:

The percentage composition ratio of Nitrogen, Phosphorus and Potassium bag of the given fertilizer is 40:15:10.

The percentages can be expressed as fractions as follows:

For nitrogen; 40/100 = 0.4

For phosphorus; 15/100 = 0.15

For potassium; 10/100 = 0.1

To find the quantity of fertilizer required to add to a hectare to supply the given amount of nutrients, the amount to be provided is divided by the percentage or fractional compostion of each nutrient.

Quantity of fertilizer required to add to a hectare to supply;

a. Nitrogen at 120 kg/ha = 120/0.4 = 300 Kg of fertilizer

b.. Nitrogen at 90 Kg/ha = 90/0.4 = 225 Kg of fertilizer

c. Phosphorus at  60 kg/ha = 60/0.15 = 400 Kg of fertilizer

d. Potassium at 60 kg/ha = 60/0.1 = 600 Kg of fertilizer

Which of the following statements is false concerning the formula of a compound?
aalyn [17]

Answer:

B. The number of atoms in a molecular formula is always greater than the number of atoms in an empirical  formula.

Explanation:

It is not always true that the number of atoms in a molecular formula is always greater than the number of atoms in an empirical formula.

The chemical formulae of a compound are of two main types;

  • The empirical formula is that which expresses the composition of a compound in the simplest whole number ratio.
  • The molecular formula shows the actual ratio of the atoms in a compound.

Sometimes the number of atoms in the molecular and empirical formula can be the same.

Also, the number of atoms in the molecular formula is always greater than that of the empirical formula when they are not the same.

.) Neon and HF have approximately the same molecular masses. a.)Explain why the boiling points of Neon and HF differ b.)Compare
lisov135 [29]

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

a) The magnitude of intermolecular forces in compounds affects the boiling points of the compound. Neon has London dispersion forces as the only intermolecular forces operating in the substance while HF has dipole dipole interaction and strong hydrogen bonds operating in the molecule hence HF exhibits a much higher boiling point than Ne though they have similar molecular masses.

b) The boiling points of the halogen halides are much higher than that of the noble gases because the halogen halides have much higher molecular masses and stronger intermolecular forces between molecules compared to the noble gases.

Also, the change in boiling point of the hydrogen halides is much more marked(decreases rapidly)  due to decrease in the magnitude of hydrogen bonding from HF to HI. The boiling point of the noble gases increases rapidly down the group as the molecular mass of the gases increases.
