You are provided with a compound fertilizer, 40-15-10.Calculate the quantity of fertilizer to add to a one hectare field supply (a) Nitrogen at 120kg/ha (b) Nitrogen at 90kg/ha (c) Phosphorus at a rate of 60kg/ha (d) Potassium at a rate of 60kg/ha

a. 300 kg of Fertilizer

b. 225 kg of fertilizer

c.400 Kg of fertilizer

d.600 Kg of fertilizer

Explanation:

The percentage composition ratio of Nitrogen, Phosphorus and Potassium bag of the given fertilizer is 40:15:10.

The percentages can be expressed as fractions as follows:

For nitrogen; 40/100 = 0.4

For phosphorus; 15/100 = 0.15

For potassium; 10/100 = 0.1

To find the quantity of fertilizer required to add to a hectare to supply the given amount of nutrients, the amount to be provided is divided by the percentage or fractional compostion of each nutrient.

Quantity of fertilizer required to add to a hectare to supply;

a. Nitrogen at 120 kg/ha = 120/0.4 = 300 Kg of fertilizer

b.. Nitrogen at 90 Kg/ha = 90/0.4 = 225 Kg of fertilizer

c. Phosphorus at  60 kg/ha = 60/0.15 = 400 Kg of fertilizer

d. Potassium at 60 kg/ha = 60/0.1 = 600 Kg of fertilizer

assuming that your periodic table has eighteen columns, you should highlight   the four elements in the third column from the left of the table.

neutral atoms of elements after calcium contain d electrons. the energy of d orbitals of a particular main shell lies between the energy of the s and p orbitals of the next main shell. for example, electrons in the have energy higher than those in the orbital while lower than those of the orbital.

by the aufbau principle, electrons fill orbitals one at a time, starting from those of the lowest energy. the orbital is therefore filled right after orbitals and before orbitals.  

potassium has electron configuration and calcium . the s orbital of a main shell holds a maximum of two electrons. the next element would thus have the electron configuration and satisfy the requirements.

a neutral atom of the element contains three electrons on top of the most recent noble gas element. it should thus be placed in the third column of the periodic table. both scandium and yttrium would satisfy the conditions. an aufbau diagram indicates that the 4f orbital is filled before the 5d. however, it appears that exceptions exists for both lanthanum and actinium. neutral atoms of the two d-block elements also demonstrate the and should be highlighted as well.
