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.

Ammonia and oxygen react to produce nitric oxide and water. Which of the following chemical equations describes this reaction an

aksik [14]

Answer:

Option B. 4NH3(g) + 5O2(g) —> 4NO(g) + 6H2O(g)

Explanation:

The reaction between ammonia, NH3 and oxygen, O2, will produce nitric oxide and water as shown below:

NH3(g) + O2(g) —> NO(g) + H2O(g)

Now, let us balance the equation.

This is illustrated below:

NH3(g) + O2(g) —> NO(g) + H2O(g)

There are 3 atoms of H on the left side and 2 atoms on the right side. It can be balance by putting 4 in front of NH3 and 6 in front of H2O as shown below:

4NH3(g) + O2(g) —> NO(g) + 6H2O(g)

There are 4 atoms of N on the left side and 1 atom on the right side. It can be balance by putting 4 in front of NO as shown below:

4NH3(g) + O2(g) —> 4NO(g) + 6H2O(g)

Now, the are 2 atoms of O on the left side and a total of 10 atoms on the right side. It can be balance by putting 5 in front of O2 as shown below:

4NH3(g) + 5O2(g) —> 4NO(g) + 6H2O(g)

Now, we can see that the equation is balanced.

Therefore, option B gives the balanced chemical equation for the reaction.

his is the chemical formula for epinephrine (the main ingredient in adrenaline): C9H13O3N A biochemist has determined by measure

Len [333]

Answer:

3.67 moles of N

Explanation:

The epinephrine's chemical formula is: C₉H₁₃O₃N

We were told that a chemist found that in a mesaure of epinephrine, he found 33 moles of C

We must know that 9 moles of C are in 1 mol of C₉H₁₃O₃N so, let's make a rule of three:

If 9 moles of C are found in 1 mol of C₉H₁₃O₃N

Therefore 33 moles of C must be found in (33 .1) / 9 = 3.67 moles of C₉H₁₃O₃N

There is a second rule of three, then.

In 1 mol of C₉H₁₃O₃N we have 1 mol of N

Then, 3.67 moles C₉H₁₃O₃N must have (3.67 . 1) / 1 = 3.67 moles of N

Remember 1 mol of C₉H₁₃O₃N has 9 moles of C, 13 moles of H, 3 moles of O and 1 mol of N
