Potassium is not found free in nature but is found in the form of potash. Potash is the ore of potassium and this ore is mined from deep down the earth or can sometimes be found on the surface. Potash was mostly formed as sea water receded and left deposits.
Potash is usually in the form of potassium salts such potassium chloride and potassium sulphate. The potash is mined then taken to the factory where it is crushed and purified by removing such impurities as clay.
The now purified potassium salts are subjected to a process called electrolysis where potassium metal is obtained from its salt.
Answer:
B. Salt, NaCl, is produced by the process of evaporation of seawater or brine. If the surface area of the water is increased, the same volume of water evaporates faster.
C. The Haber process combines hydrogen and nitrogen to make ammonia. The two gases are passed through a reactor under pressure and at high temperatures. If iron is added to the reactor, the yield of ammonia increases.
Explanation:
Evaporation of water is responsible for the production of sodium chloride also known as table salt. Sodium and chlorine are present in water. When more evaporation of water occurs, sodium and chlorine come close together forming sodium chloride. Haber process is responsible for the production of ammonia which is used as fertilizer. For speed up the process, catalyst is used such as iron in order to complete the reaction in less time. Iron binds hydrogen and nitrogen with each other.
Answer:
from the 1st equation:
4NH3 4NO
4 *(68) 4*30
1216 X mass of NO = 536.5 g
from the 2nd Equation
2NO 2NO2
2*30 2* 46
536.5 x mass of NO2 = 822.6 grams
from the 3rd Equation
3NO2 2HNO3
3*(46) 2* (63)
822.6 X mass of nitric acid = 751.06 gram
b) % yields = ( 96.2%* 91.3% *91.4%)= 80.3%
is 
, hence one 
is 
, thus 
is
