How many kilograms of a fertilizer are made of pure P2O5 would be required to supply 1.69 kilogram of phosphorus to the soil?
Alekssandra [29.7K]

Answer:

3.89 kg P2O5 must be used to supply 1.69 kg Phosphorus to the soil.

Explanation:

The molecular mass of P2O5 is

P2 = 2* 31 =           62

O5 = 5 *<u> 16 =         80</u>

Molecular Mass = 142

Set up a Proportion

142 grams P2O5 supplies 62 grams of phosphorus

x    kg P2O5        supplies 1.69 kg of phosphorus

Though this might be a bit anti intuitive, you don't have to convert the units for this question. The ratio is all that is important.

142/x = 62/1.69            Cross multiply

142 * 1.69 = 62x           combine the left

239.98 = 62x               Divide by 62

239.98/62 = x

3.89 kg of P2O5 must be used.

Which of the following is not an example of a polymer?
Nady [450]
I believe the correct answer from the choices listed above is the third option. It is amino acid that is not an example of a polymer. It <span> is a large molecule, or macromolecule, composed of many repeated subunits. Hope this answers the question.</span>

Which type of change must occur to form a compound? (1) chemical (3) nuclear(2) physical (4) phase?
Leya [2.2K]
Let's go through each of the answers and think about why they work or don't work. 

Chemical forms compounds. 

Nuclear changes the element completely. We're going to use the sun as an example. The sun is in a state of plasma. It's really hot and has all these particles hitting into each other. The nucleus' of atoms are hitting into each other forming larger elements. It's real crazy. Nuclear is not correct. 

Physical cannot form a compound.

Challenge question: This question is worth 6 points. As you saw in problem 9 we can have species bound to a central metal ion. T
Llana [10]

Answer:

A

Explanation:

Iron has the ground state electronic configuration [Ar]3d64s2

Fe2+ has the electronic configuration [Ar]3d6.

In an octahedral crystal field, there are two sets of degenerate orbitals; the lower lying three t2g orbitals, and the higher level two degenerate eg orbitals. Strong field ligands cause high octahedral crystal field splitting, there by separating the two sets of degenerate orbitals by a tremendous amount of energy. This energy is much greater than the pairing energy required to pair the six electrons in three degenerate orbitals. Since CN- is a strong field ligand, it leads to pairing of six electrons in three degenerate orbitals

Which of the following best explains how the results of Rutherford’s experiment affected Thomson’s widely-accepted atomic model?
hichkok12 [17]

Explanation:

Thomson's suggested the plum pudding model of the atom in which the atomic space is made up of electrons surround by positive charges.

Rutherford in his gold foil experiment revised the plum pudding model of the atom;

  • He discovered that most of the alpha particles passed through the foil while a few of them were deflected back.
  • To explain this observation, he suggested the atomic model of the atom.
  • In this model, an atom is made up of a small positively charged center where nearly all the mass is concentrated.
  • Surrounding the nucleus is the extranuclear part made up of electrons.
