What is the percent composition of phosphoric acid H3PO4

1 answer:

5 0

Hey there!:

Molar mass H3PO4 = 97.9952 g/mol

Atomic Masses :

H = 1.00794 a.m.u

P = 30.973762 a.m.u

O = 15.9994 a.m.u

H % = [ ( 1.00794 * 3 ) / 97.9952 ] * 100

H% = 3.0857 %

P % = [ ( 30.973762 * 1 ) / 97.9952 ] * 100

P% = 31.6074 %

O % = [ ( 15.9994 * 4 ) / 97.9952 ] * 100

O% = 65.3069 %

Hope this helps!

Explain how you would separate a mixture of water, sand, salt and iron filings into its four component parts.

katen-ka-za [31]

You would use the density difference to separate the sand, evaporate the water out (the water vapor will cool back to water if collected). Then use a magnet to get the iron fillings out of the salt.

What is/are the principal product(s) formed when excess methylmagnesium iodide reacts with p-hydroxyacetophenone?

Montano1993 [528]

The end product will depend upon

a) the amount of the reagent taken

b) the final treatment of the reaction

If we have just taken methylmagnesium iodide and p-hydroxyacetophenone, then we will get methane and hydroxyl group substituted with MgI in place of hydrogen

Figure 1

However if we have taken excess of methylmagnesium iodide which is Grignard's reagent followed by hydrolysis we will get different product
