The question is incomplete, the complete question is;

The compound magnesium phosphate has the chemical formula Mg3(PO4)2. In this compound, phosphorus and oxygen act together as one charged particle, which is connected to magnesium, the other charged particle. What does the 2 mean in the formula 5Mg3(PO4)2? A. There are two elements in magnesium phosphate. B. There are two molecules of magnesium phosphate. C. There are two magnesium ions in a molecule of magnesium phosphate. D. There are two phosphate ions in a molecule of magnesium phosphate.

Answer:

There are two phosphate ions in a molecule of magnesium phosphate.

Explanation:

The compound magnesium phosphate is an ionic compound. Ionic compounds always consists of two ions, a positive ion and a negative ion.

In this case, the positive ion is Mg^2+ while the negative ion is PO4^3-.

The subscript, 2 after the formula of the phosphate ion means that there are two phosphate ions in each formula unit of magnesium phosphate.

A particle having a speed of 0.87c has a momentum of 10-16 kg·m/s. what is its mass?
cupoosta [38]
The momentum p of a moving particle is the product between its mass, m, and tis velocity, v:
p=mv
In our problem, we know p=10^{-16}~Kg \cdot m/s and v=0.87c=0.87\cdot 3\cdot10^8~m/s=2.61\cdot 10^8~m/s, and using the relationship mentioned above, we can find the mass m of the particle:
m= \frac{p}{v} =3.8\cdot10^{-25}~Kg

m = 43.2 kg

Explanation:

volume of sphere = (4/3)pi(r)^3

= (4/3)(3.14)(2 m)^3

= 33.5 m^3

density = mass/volume

or solving for mass m,

m = (density)×(volume)

= (1.29 kg/m^3)(33.5 m^3)

= 43.2 kg

Calculate the amount of heat (in kJ) required to convert 97.6 g of water to steam at 100° C. (The molar heat of vaporization of
Ratling [72]

Answer:

221.17 kJ

Explanation: Note the heat of vaporization is in kJ/mol,then to determine the number of moles of water: divide the mass by 18. Then multiply the number of moles by the molar heat of vaporization of water.

N = 97.6 ÷ 18

Q=molar heat *moles

Q = (40.79) * (97.6 ÷ 18)

This is approximately 221.17 kJ
