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.

The activation energy of a reaction is 56.9 kj/mol and the frequency factor is 1.5×1011/s. Part a calculate the rate constant of

Vanyuwa [196]

We will use Arrehenius equation

lnK = lnA -( Ea / RT)

R = gas constant = 8.314 J / mol K

T = temperature = 25 C = 298 K

A = frequency factor

ln A = ln (1.5×10 ^11) = 25.73

Ea = activation energy = 56.9 kj/mol = 56900 J / mol

lnK = 25.73 - (56900 / 8.314 X 298) = 2.76

Taking antilog

K = 15.8

riadik2000 [5.3K]

Answer : The value of rate of reaction is $1.35\times 10^{-8}Ms^{-1}$

Explanation :

Rate law : It is defined as the expression which expresses the rate of the reaction in terms of molar concentration of the reactants with each term raised to the power their stoichiometric coefficient of that reactant in the balanced chemical equation.

The given chemical equation is:

$2NO+O_2\rightarrow 2NO_2$
