(a)
Interpretation:
The block of periodic table to which phosphorus belongs to has to be identified.
Concept Introduction:
Elements that are present in the periodic table can be classified based on the valence electron that is present in the electronic configuration. The elements present in the periodic table are classified as s-block, p-block, d-block, and f-block elements. If the valence electron is present in the
This classification can also be done by considering the group number. Elements present in Group 1 and 2 are known as s-block elements, Group 3 to 12 are known as d-block elements, Group 13 to 18 are known as p-block elements. f-block elements are known as inner

Chemical Principles: The Quest for Insight
- 4.48 Elemental phosphorous is used in the semiconductor industry. It can be obtained from an ore called fluoroapatite via reaction with SiO2 and C: 4Ca5( PO4)3F+18SiO2+30C3P4+30CO+18CaSiO3+2CaF2 Suppose a particular semiconductor production plant requires 1500 kg of P4. If the recovery of P4 from this reaction is 73% efficient, what mass of fluoroapatite is needed?arrow_forwardThe present average concentration (mass percent) of magnesium ions in seawater is 0.13%. A chemistry textbook estimates that if 1.00 × 108 tons Mg were taken out of the sea each year, it would take one million years for the Mg concentration to drop to 0.12%. Do sufficient calculations to either verify or refute this statement. Assume that Earth is a sphere with a diameter of 8000 mi, 67% of which is covered by oceans to a depth of 1 mi, and that no Mg is washed back into the oceans at any time.arrow_forwardGiven that the density of argon is 1.78 g/L under standard conditions of temperature and pressure, how many argon atoms are present in a room with dimensions 4.0 m 5.0 m 2.4 m that is filled with pure argon under these conditions of temperature and pressure?arrow_forward
- S. Titanium occurs in the magnetic mineral ilmenite (FeTiO3), which is often found mixed with sand. The ilmenite can be separated from the sand with magnets. The titanium can then be extracted from the ilmenite by the following set of reactions: FETIO;(s) + 3 Cl2(g) + 3 C(s) → 3 CO(g) + FeCl2(s) + TiCl,(g) TICL(g) + 2 Mg(s) –→ 2 MgCl;(1) + Ti(s) Suppose that an ilmenite-sand mixture contains 22.8% ilmenite by mass and that the first reaction is carried out with a 90.8% yield. If the second reaction is carried out with an 85.9% yield, what mass of titanium can be obtained from 1.00 kg of the ilmenite-sand mixture?arrow_forwardHematite, Fe₂O3, is an important ore of iron. (An ore is a natural substance from which the metal can be profitably obtained.) The free metal is obtained by reacting hematite with carbon monoxide, CO, in a blast furnace. Carbon monoxide is formed in the furnace by partial combustion of carbon. The reaction is Fe₂O3(s) + 3CO(g) → 2Fe(s) + 3CO₂(g) How many grams of iron can be produced from 1.34 kg Fe₂03? g Fearrow_forwardCalculate the percentage by mass of the indicated element in the following compounds: (d) platinum in PtCl21NH322, a chemotherapy agent called cisplatin; (e) oxygen in the female sex hormone estradiol, C18H24O2; (f) carbon in capsaicin, C18H27NO3, the compound that gives the hot taste to chili peppers.arrow_forward
- A compound is composed of carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen and oxygen. When a 1.500-g sample of the compound is completely combusted, it yields 1.476 g of CO2and 0.605 g of H2O.
