Mg3(PO4)2+ 3K2SO4= 3MgSO4+ 2K3PO4. How many moles of potassium phosphate (K3PO4) will be produced from 5.62 moles of magnesium phosphate (Mg3(PO4)2)?

Respuesta :

Answer: 11.24 moles of [tex]K_3PO_4[/tex] will be produced from 5.62 moles of magnesium phosphate  [tex](Mg_3(PO_4)_2)[/tex]

Explanation:

The balanced chemical equation for double displacement reaction is:

[tex]Mg_3(PO_4)_2+3K_2SO_4\rightarrow 3MgSO_4+2K_3PO_4[/tex]  

According to stoichiometry :

1 mole of [tex]Mg_3(PO_4)_2[/tex] produce = 2 mole of [tex]K_3PO_4[/tex]

Thus 5.62 moles of [tex]Mg_3(PO_4)_2[/tex] will produce=[tex]\frac{2}{1}\times 5.62=11.24moles[/tex]  of [tex]K_3PO_4[/tex]

Thus 11.24 moles of [tex]K_3PO_4[/tex] will be produced from 5.62 moles of magnesium phosphate  [tex](Mg_3(PO_4)_2)[/tex]

The number of moles of potassium phosphate that will be produced will be 11.24 moles

Calculating the moles based on stochiometry

Given the balanced equation expressed as:

[tex]Mg_3(PO_4)_2+ 3K_2SO_4\rightarrow 3MgSO_4+ 2K_3PO_4.[/tex]

Based on stochiometry, 1 mole of magnesium phosphate produces 2 moles of potassium phosphate

Given that there are 5.62 moles of magnesium phosphate (Mg3(PO4)2), the number of moles of potassium phosphate that will be produced will be2(5.62) = 11.24 moles
