. All-purpose fertilizers contain the essential elements nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium. A typical fertilizer carries numbers on its label, such as 5-10-5 . These numbers represent the % N, % P2O5 , and % respectively. The N is contained in the form of a nitrogen compound, such as or (urea). The P is generally present as a phosphate, and the K as KCl. The expressions % and % were devised in the nineteenth century, before the nature of chemical compounds was fully understood. To convert from % to % P and from % to % K, the factors 2 mol and 2 mol must be used, together with molar masses. (a) Assuming three-significant-figure precision, what is the percent composition of the 5-10-5 fertilizer in % N, % P, and % K? (b) What is the % in the following compounds (both common fertilizers)? (i) (ii) (c) In a similar manner to the 5-10-5 fertilizer described in this exercise, how would you describe a fertilizer in which the mass ratio of to KCl is 5.00:1.00? (d) Can a 5-10-5 fertilizer be prepared in which and KCl are the sole fertilizer components, with or without inert nonfertilizer additives? If so, what should be the proportions of the constituents of the fertilizer mixture? If this 5-10-5 fertilizer cannot be prepared, why not?

. Some substances that are only very slightly soluble in water will spread over the surface of water to produce a film that is called a monolayer because it is only one molecule thick. A practical use of this phenomenon is to cover ponds to reduce the loss of water by evaporation. Stearic acid forms a monolayer on water. The molecules are arranged upright and in contact with one another, rather like pencils tightly packed and standing upright in a coffee mug. The model below represents an individual stearic acid molecule in the monolayer. (a) How many square meters of water surface would be covered by a monolayer made from 10.0 g of stearic acid? [Hint: What is the formula of stearic acid?] (b) If stearic acid has a density of estimate the length (in nanometers) of a stearic acid molecule. [Hint: What is the thickness of the monolayer described in part a?] (c) A very dilute solution of oleic acid in liquid pentane is prepared in the following way: 0.895 g>mL. 4.6 * 10-15 cm2. 85 cm2. 1.00 mL solution (3) + 9.00 mL pentane :solution (4). 1.00 mL solution (2) + 9.00 mL pentane :solution (3); 1.00 mL solution (1) + 9.00 mL pentane :solution (2); 1.00 mL oleic acid + 9.00 mL pentane : solution (1); A0.10 mL sample of solution (4) is spread in a monolayer on water. The area covered by the monolayer is Assume that oleic acid molecules are arranged in the same way as described for stearic acid, and that the cross-sectional area of the molecule is The density of oleic acid is Use these data to obtain an approximate value of Avogadro s number.
