Experiments test the scientists' ideas.
Answer:
17.55 g of NaCl
Explanation:
The following data were obtained from the question:
Molarity = 3 M
Volume = 100.0 mL
Mass of NaCl =..?
Next, we shall convert 100.0 mL to L. This can be obtained as follow:
1000 mL = 1 L
Therefore,
100 mL = 100/1000
100 mL = 0.1 L
Therefore, 100 mL is equivalent to 0.1 L.
Next, we shall determine the number of mole NaCl in the solution. This can be obtained as follow:
Molarity = 3 M
Volume = 0.1 L
Mole of NaCl =?
Molarity = mole /Volume
3 = mole of NaCl /0.1
Cross multiply
Mole of NaCl = 3 × 0.1
Mole of NaCl = 0.3 mole
Finally, we determine the mass of NaCl required to prepare the solution as follow:
Mole of NaCl = 0.3 mole
Molar mass of NaCl = 23 + 35.5 = 58.5 g/mol
Mass of NaCl =?
Mole = mass /Molar mass
0.3 = mass of NaCl /58.5
Cross multiply
Mass of NaCl = 0.3 × 58.5
Mass of NaCl = 17.55 g
Therefore, 17.55 g of NaCl is needed to prepare the solution.
Answer:

Explanation:
The molecular formula of the monohydrate formed = 
The molecular mass of the monohydrate formed = 
So, Mass = 24 + 14 + 6 × 1 + 5 × 16 = 155 g
Mass of phosphorus = 31 g
Thus,
