Study Notes
Overall Composition of Beef Animal Body
- Calf body weight: 75 kg; Steer body weight: 500 kg.
- Values are presented in grams per kilogram of beef carcass.
- Example: 66 g kg⁻¹ of lipids in a calf indicates 66 grams of lipids per kilogram of the calf’s carcass.
Chemical Composition of Fertilizers
- Discusses common inorganic fertilizers and their components.
- Highlights potential hazards and information needs in agriculture related to fertilizers.
Ionic and Covalent Compounds
- Potassium sulfate is an ionic compound, composed of potassium (K) and sulfur (S).
- Significant electronegativity difference results in electron transfer: potassium loses an electron to become K⁺, sulfur gains electrons to form SO₄²⁻.
- Formation of ionic bonds occurs through attraction between oppositely charged ions.
- Urea is an example of a covalent compound, consisting of 1 carbon, 1 oxygen, 2 nitrogen, and 4 hydrogen atoms.
- Urea contains a double bond between carbon and oxygen.
