Answer:

6049.69 g or 6.04969 Kg of ore must be processed to get 1 Kg of phosphorous.

Explanation:

Given

An ore has 51% Calcium phosphate

To find

The minimum mass of ore to be processed to get 1.00 Kg of phosphorous

First find the mass of phosphorous in 1 mole = molar mass of Calcium phosphate, Ca₃(PO₄)₃.

Molar mass of Ca₃(PO₄)₃ is 310 g

Molar mass of P is 31 g

1 mole of Ca₃(PO₄)₃ has 3 atoms of phosphorous

i.e 310 g of Ca₃(PO₄)₃ has 3× 31g of P

= 93 g P

93 g P wil be present in 310 g of Ca₃(PO₄)₃

1 Kg or 1000 g of P will be in (1000÷93) ×310

=3333.33 g of Ca₃(PO₄)₃

but the ore has only 55.1% Ca₃(PO₄)₃

i.e

100 g of Ca₃(PO₄)₃ will have 55.1g Ca₃(PO₄)₃

we need 3333.33g of Ca₃(PO₄)₃

100 g of ore will have 55.1g Ca₃(PO₄)₃

3333.33g of Ca₃(PO₄)₃ will be present in

(3333.33÷ 55.1) ×100

= 6049.60 g of the ore

So 6049.69 g or 6.04969 Kg of ore must be processed to get 1 Kg of phosphorous.

What volume of O2 collected at 22.0 and 728 mmHg would be produce by the decomposition of 8.15 g KClO3?

adell [148]

Answer:

There is 2.52 L of O2 collected

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given:

Temperature = 22.0 °C

Pressure = 728 mmHg = 728 /760 = 0.958 atm

Mass of KClO3 = 8.15 grams

Molar mass of KClO3 = 122.55 g/mol

Step 2: The balanced equation

2KClO3(s) → 2KCl(s) + 3O2(g)

Step 3: Calculate moles of KClO3

Moles KClO3 = mass KClO3 / molar mass KClO3

Moles KClO3= 8.15 grams / 122.55 g/mol

Moles KClO3 = 0.0665 moles

Step 4: Calculate moles of O2

For 2 moles of KClO3 we'll have 2 moles of KCl and 3 moles of O2 produced

For 0.0665 moles of KClO3 we have 3/2 * 0.0665 = 0.09975 moles

Step 5: Calculate vlume of O2

p*V = n*R*T

V = (n*R*T)/p

⇒ with n = the number of moles O2 = 0.09975 moles

⇒ with R = the gas constant = 0.08206 L*atm/K*mol

⇒ with T = 22.0 °C = 273 +22 = 295 Kelvin

⇒ with p = 0.958 atm

V = (0.09975 * 0.08206 * 295) / 0.958

V = 2.52 L

There is 2.52 L of O2 collected

How many chlorine atoms are found in 8.3 moles of chlorine?

erik [133]

Answer:

5*10²⁴ chlorine atoms are found in 8.3 moles of chlorine.

Explanation:

Avogadro's Number or Avogadro's Constant is called the number of particles that make up a substance (usually atoms or molecules) and that can be found in the amount of one mole of said substance. Its value is 6.023*10²³ particles per mole. Avogadro's number represents a quantity without an associated physical dimension, so it is considered a pure number that allows describing a physical characteristic without an explicit dimension or unit of expression. Avogadro's number applies to any substance.

Then you can apply the following rule of three: if 1 mole of the compound contains 6.023 * 10²³ atoms, 8.3 moles of the compound how many atoms does it have?

$amount of atoms=\frac{8.3 moles*6.023*10^{23}atoms }{1 mole}$

amount of atoms≅ 5*10²⁴ atoms

5*10²⁴ chlorine atoms are found in 8.3 moles of chlorine.

Question 9 (1 point)

pantera1 [17]

Answer:

8 moles of C

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following equation was obtained:

3A + 2B —> 6C

From the equation above,

3 moles of A reacted to produce 6 moles of C.

Thus, the number of mole of C produced by reacting 4 moles of A can be obtained as follow:

From the equation above,

3 moles of A reacted to produce 6 moles of C.

Therefore, 4 moles of C will react to produce = (4 × 6)/3 = 8 moles of C

Thus, 8 moles of C can be obtained from the reaction of 4 moles of A with excess B
