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.

Q1. Briefly explain why the Zeff experienced by a valence electron in Cl is larger than in Mg. Q2. Briefly explain why the Zeff

Inessa05 [86]

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

Q1:

Chlorine has 17 protons while magnesium has only 12 protons. Recall that the Zeff depends on the size of the nuclear charge. The greater the size of the nuclear charge, the larger the Zeff experienced by a valence electron.

Q2:

The larger the Zeff, the smaller the atomic radius. Since the valence electrons of Cl experience a greater Zeff than those of Mg due to greater size of the nuclear charge, the atomic radius of chlorine will be smaller than that of Mg.

Q3:

The radius of an atom increases as the value of the principal quantum number (n) increases down the group due to addition of more shells. The greater the number of shells added, the greater the principal quantum number (n) and the greater the atomic radius, hence the answer.

How many ATOMS are in 5 grams of NaCl?

Bond [772]

Molar mass of sodium chloride is 22.99 g/mol (Na+) + 35.45 g/mol (Cl-) = x g/mol. Then take the mass of sodium chloride sample 5 grams and divide by molar mass to get the number of moles. Take this number and multiply it by Avogadro’s number (6.22*10^23 molecules/mol). You now have the amount of molecules in 5 grams of NaCl.

Using the following thermochemical equation, determine the amount of heat produced from the combustion of 24.3 g benzene (C6H6).

Anna007 [38]

Answer:

ΔH = -976.5 kJ

Explanation:

For the reaction given, there are 2 moles of benzene (C6H6). The heat of this reaction is -6278 kJ, which means that the combustion of 2 moles of benzene will lose 6278 kJ of heat. It is an exothermic reaction.

The value of ΔH, the enthalpy, is a way of measurement of the heat, and it depends on the quantity of the matter (number of moles).

So, 24.3 g of benzene has :

n = mass/ molar mass

n = 24.3/78.11

n = 0.311 moles

2 moles ------------ -6278 kJ

0.311 moles ----------- x

By a simple direct three rule:

2x = -1953.08

x = -976.5 kJ
