Answer is: mass of the ore is 8.54kg.<span>

</span>ω(Ca₃(PO₄)₂ - calcium phosphate) = 58.6% ÷ 100% = 0.586.
m(P) = 1.00 kg · 1000 g/kg.
m(P) = 1000 g.
In one molecule of calcium phosphate there are two phosphorus atoms:
M(Ca₃(PO₄)₂) = 310.18 g/mol.
M(P) = 30.97 g/mol.
For one kilogram of phosphorus, we need:
M(Ca₃(PO₄)₂) : 2M(P) = m(Ca₃(PO₄)₂) : m(P).
310.18 g/mol : 61.94 g/mol = m(Ca₃(PO₄)₂) : 1000 g.
m(Ca₃(PO₄)₂) = 5007.75 g ÷ 1000 g/kg = 5.007 kg.
Mass of ore find from proportion:
m(Ca₃(PO₄)₂) : m(ore) = 56% : 100%.
m(ore) = 100% · 5.007 kg ÷ 58.6%.
m(ore) = 8.54kg.

Magnesium oxide is an ionic compound with a very high melting point and which requires a large amount of energy for melting.

<h3>What are ionic compounds?</h3>

Ionic compounds are compounds which are formed between oppositely charged ions which are held together by electrostatic forces of attraction between the oppositely charged ions.

Ionic compounds are formed when metal atoms donate electrons to non-metals atoms to form ions.

Magnesium oxide is an ionic compound.

The nature of bonding is ionic bonding.

It has a crystalline lattice structure.

The forces of attraction is electrostatic forces of attraction.

It has a high melting point of 2,852 °C, and thus requires a large amount of energy go melting to occur.

Therefore, magnesium oxide is an ionic compound which requires a large amount of energy for melting.
