1 mole of phosphorous contains 31 g/ mol
Thus, 1000 g will contain 1000/31 moles
The RFM of calcium phosphate (Ca₃(PO₄)₂ = 310 G
1 Mole of calcium phosphate contains 2 moles of P
Therefore, the number of moles of Calcium phosphate that will contain 1000/31 moles will be;
 (1/2)× (1000/31) = 1000/62 moles
but 1 mole of calcium phosphate = 310 g
thus, (1000/62) moles calcium phosphate will contain;
= (1000/62)× 310
= 5000 g or 5 kg
Therefore, for 5 kg of calcium phosphate to be processed we will need
 (5000 /58.9)×100 
= 8488.96 g or 8.489 kg of the ore
Thus, a minimum of 8.489 kg of the ore must be processed to yield 1 kg of phosphorus

How are valance electrons related to nuclear reactions?
Harrizon [31]

Explanation:

Valence electrons are not related in anyways to nuclear reactions.

They do not take part in nuclear reactions. Only some inner orbital electrons have the tendency of taking part in nuclear reactions.

The valence electrons are the outermost electrons in an atom.

Nuclear reactions takes place in the nucleus of an atom.

Valence electrons are exchanged and shared for chemical reactions to take place in between atoms.

We can conclude that valence electrons have no relevance in nuclear reactions

What is the mass of carbon in 290 g of CO2?
Elis [28]

Answer:

The mass of CO22 in total is 264 g.

The atomic mass for C is 12 g / mole.

The molar mass for CO22 is (12 + (2 × 16)) = 44 g / mole.

m C = (12 / 44) × 264 = 72 g

So, there are 72 g of C in 264 g of CO2

Explanation:

there's the answer have a good day.
