Unit ppm stands for parts per million. in terms of mass, ppm is equivalent to mg/kg.
since 1 kg is 10⁻⁶ mg, 1 kg is equivalent to million mg.
therefore mg/kg is also ppm.
there are 1.3 g of Ca ions in 3100 kg
if 3100 kg contains - 1.3 g of Ca
then 1 kg contains - 1.3 g / 3100 kg
then Ca ions - 0.42 x 10⁻³ g/kg
Ca ion concentration - 0.42 mg/kg 
therefore Ca ion concentration is 0.42 ppm

An impurity sometimes found in Ca₃(PO₄)₂ is Fe₂O₃, which is removed during the production of phosphorus as ferrophosphorus (Fe₂P
Citrus2011 [14]

This impurity is troubling from an economic standpoint because it lead to decrease in the yield of phosphorus

  • Ferrophosphorus is a byproduct of phosphorus production in submerged-arc furnaces , by their reduction with carbon. It is formed from the iron oxide impurities.
  • Iron impurities present in the calcium phosphate will be precipitated out as the iron phosphate which eventually will lead to the decrease in the yield of phosphorous during the production of phosphorous.

Thus we can conclude that Fe₂P causes decrease in yield

The laws of electrostatics predict that protons will
GaryK [48]
The laws of the electrostatics were developed by Coulomb and are further detailed or subdivided into two as follows:

(1) The first one talks about the similarities in the charges of the particles and what happens to them. This states that like charges repel.

(2) The second one quantifies the field between two particles with equation showing that field is directly proportional to the masses and inversely to the square of the distance between them.

In this item, we can then say that the protons (having the same charges) will have to repel from each other in accordance to statement 1 of the law.

A chemical equation containing an unequal number of atoms of reactants and products is called
navik [9.2K]

Answer:

A chemical reaction expresses a chemical change. For example, one chemical property of hydrogen is that it will react with oxygen to make water. We can write that as follows:

hydrogen reacts with oxygen to make water

We can represent this chemical change more succinctly as

hydrogen + oxygen → water

where the + sign means that the two substances interact chemically with each other and the → symbol implies that a chemical reaction takes place. But substances can also be represented by chemical formulas. Remembering that hydrogen and oxygen both exist as diatomic molecules, we can rewrite our chemical change as

H2 + O2 → H2O
