Answer:
Mass = 3732.62 g
Explanation:
Given data:
Number of formula units = 8.53×10²⁴
Mass of sample = ?
Solution:
1 mole of any substance contain 6.022×10²³ formula units.
8.53×10²⁴ formula units ×1 mol / 6.022×10²³ formula units
1.42×10¹ mol
14.2 mol
Mass of magnesium phosphate:
Mass = number of moles × molar mass
Mass = 14.2 mol × 262.86 g/mol
Mass = 3732.62 g
The original source of the soil organic matter is plant tissue. In the forest, organic matter is added in the soil mainly in the form of fallen leaves. Under natural conditions, the tops and roots of trees, shrubs, grasses and other native plants annually supply large quantities of organic residues.
