Question

mmonium phosphate NH43PO4 is an important ingredient in many solid fertilizers. It can be made by reacting aqueous phosphoric acid H3PO4 with liquid ammonia. Calculate the moles of ammonium phosphate produced by the reaction of 0.065mol of ammonia. Be sure your answer has a unit symbol, if necessary, and round it to 2 significant digits.

Answer 1

Answer:

0.022 moles of ammonium phosphate produced by the reaction of 0.065mol of ammonia.

Explanation:

$H_3PO_4+3NH_3\rightarrow (NH_4)_3PO_4$

Moles of ammonia = 0.065 moles

According to reaction, 3 moles of ammonia gives 1 mole of ammonium phosphate ,then 0.065b moles of ammonia will give:

$\frac{1}{3}\times 0.065 mol= 0.02166 mol\approx 0.022 mol$

0.022 moles of ammonium phosphate produced by the reaction of 0.065mol of ammonia.
