If a particular ore contains 56.3 % % calcium phosphate, what minimum mass of the ore must be processed to obtain 1.00 kg k g of phosphorus?

34.44 kg

Explanation:

First we convert 1.00 kg of phosphorus (P) into moles, using its molar mass:

Then we convert 0.03125 kmoles of P into kmoles of Ca₃(PO₄)₂:

Now we calculate the mass of 0.0625 kmoles of Ca₃(PO₄)₂:

Finally we calculate the required mass of the ore, using the definition of content percentage:

answer: c. the experiment shows that the red substance experienced a chemical change.

explanation: chemical change is the change in which chemical composition of the substance changes. physical change is the change in which there is no change in chemical composition.

chemical changes are accompanied by following changes:

a) precipitate formation

b) energy is released or absorbed

c) formation of bubbles

d) change in color

as it is given that the red color has disappeared and there is production of gas, it means the red substance has undergone a chemical change.
