How many mol of sodium phosphate will form when 0.275 mol of sodium bromide react with phosphoric acid? The reaction is shown below. 3 NaBr + H3PO4 --> Na3PO4 + 3 HBr

Respuesta :

Answer:

[tex]Mole of Na_3 PO_4 = 0.092[/tex]  

Explanation:

Firstly balance the chemical reaction,

[tex]3NaBr+H_3 PO_4[/tex]   →  [tex]Na_3 PO_4+3HBr[/tex]

Molecular weight of [tex]NaBr[/tex]=103g/mole;

Molecular weight of [tex]Na_3 PO_4[/tex] =164g/mole;

Moles are:

Number of mole of [tex]NaBr[/tex]=0.275

From the balanced equation,

3 mole of [tex]NaBr[/tex] gives 1 mole of  [tex]Na_3 PO_4;[/tex]

1 mole of [tex]NaBr[/tex] gives 1/3 mole of [tex]Na_3 PO_4;[/tex]

Hence;

0.275 mole of [tex]NaBr[/tex] will produce [tex]\frac{0.275}{3}[/tex] mole of  [tex]Na_3 PO_4;[/tex]

Hence,

[tex]Mole of Na_3 PO_4 = 0.092[/tex]
