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.

Yes. Percent yield shows how efficient one's method is. If his isolated caffeine proved to be at only 1.5%, compared to least 50% as in many of the previous experiments, the student should be very concerned as it shows that something caused the yield to sharply drop.

when applied to a dish, soap makes grease soluble in water. which explanation correctly supports the role of intermolecular forc
ankoles [38]
This is possible because of the emulsifying properties present in soap. This property is caused by the hydrophilic end and hydrophobic end of a soap molecule. Grease is able to be dissolved in the water because it is attracted to the hydrophobic end of the soap molecule.

Explain why, at room temperature, CO2 is a gas and CS2 is a liquid. You may use diagrams as part of your explanation.
eduard

Explanation:

A. Hydrogen bonding is present in CS2 but not in CO2.

B. CS2 has greater dipole moment than CO2 and thus the dipole-dipole forces in CS2 are stronger.

C. CS2 partly dissociates to form ions and CO2 does not. Therefore, ion-dipole interactions are present in CS2 but not in CO2.

D. The dispersion forces are greater in CS2 than in CO2.
