Answer:

\boxed{\textbf{Mass of ore = 26.7 kg}}

Explanation:

1. Calculate the mass of Ca₃(PO₄)₂

1 mol (310.18 g) of Ca₃(PO₄)₂ contains 61.95 g of P

\text{Mass of Ca$_{3}$(PO$_{4}$)$_{2}$} = \text{3.53 kg P} \times \dfrac{\text{310.18 kg Ca$_{3}$(PO$_{4}$)$_{2}$}}{\text{61.95 kg P}}\\\\= \text{17.67 kg Ca$_{3}$(PO$_{4}$)$_{2}$}

2. Calculate the mass of ore

\text{Mass of ore} = \text{17.67 kg Ca$_{3}$(PO4$_{4}$)$_{2}$} \times \dfrac{\text{100 kg ore}}{\text{66.1kg Ca$_{3}$(PO4$_{4}$)$_{2}$} } = \textbf{26.7 kg ore}\\\\\boxed{\textbf{Mass of ore = 26.7 kg}}

Consider the reaction. PCl5(g)↽−−⇀PCl3(g)+Cl2(g) K=0.042 The concentrations of the products at equilibrium are [PCl3]=0.18 M and
tatyana61 [14]

<u>Answer:</u> The equilibrium concentration of PCl_5 is 1.285 M.

<u>Explanation:</u>

The chemical equation for the decomposition of phosphorus pentachloride follows:

PCl_5(g)\rightleftharpoons PCl_3(g)+Cl_2(g)

The expression for equilibrium constant is given as:

K_c=\frac{[PCl_3][Cl_2]}{[PCl_5]}

We are given:

K_c=0.042

[PCl_3]=0.18M

[Cl_2]=0.30M

The concentration of solid substances are taken to be 1. Thus, they do not appear in the equilibrium constant expression.

Putting values in above equation, we get:

0.042=\frac{0.18\times 0.30}{[PCl_5]}

[PCl_5]=1.285

Hence, the equilibrium concentration of PCl_5 is 1.285 M.

Xelga [282]

Answer: [Kr] 5s1 4d10 silver

[Xe] 6s2 4f14 5d7 Iridium

[Ar] 4s2 3d10 4p4 selenium

[Kr] 5s1 4d4 niobium

[Xe] 6s1 4f14 5d10 gold

[Kr] 5s2 4d10 5p4 tellurium

Explanation:

Selenium and tellurium will have the same properties because they both belong to group 16 in the periodic table.

Silver and gold will have the same properties because they both belong the group 11 in the periodic table.

Elements having the same outermost shell configuration show similar properties since chemical reactions occur by loss or gain of electrons. This loss or gain is determined by the number of electrons occupying the outermost shell. Elements in the same group have the same outermost shell electron configuration and similar properties.

In a redox reaction, what happens to a substance’s charge when it is oxidized?
sammy [17]
I use the acronym LEO for oxidation reactions. This stand for: Lose electrons Oxidation, so when oxidation occurs, electrons are lost. Due to electrons having a negative charge, substance undergoing oxidation have a more POSITIVE charge.

Which element on the periodic table has physical properties most similar to the physical properties of cl
enyata [817]

Answer:

Any element with 7 electrons in the outermost shell will have similar properties. Thus other elements in the same column of the periodic table as chlorine will have similar properties. Elements in this column form what is called the Halogen series, which is composed of fluorine, chlorine, bromine, iodine, and astatine

A wet barometer puts a vacuum above a liquid and applies air pressure to the surface of the liquid - the height of the liquid above to reservoir surface is the measure of air pressure. The liquid can be in a J tube with an open end or a straight tube in a pool. Air pressure will support about 30" of mercury or about 32 feet of water. 
<span>A dry barometer uses a sealed chamber with a diaphragm with a lever touching it or a spiral tube with a link connected to a display needle. In the former, the slight movement of the diaphragm with changed pressure is translated to a large movement of the end of the lever movement across the scale. In the spiral, the expanding/contracting air inside the tube changes its shape and pulls the needle over. </span>
<span>In both case, the scale of pressure for the needle has to be calibrated to the design. </span>
