What is the chemical compound?
Answer:
1.12M
Explanation:
Given parameters:
Volume of solution = 2.5L
Mass of Calcium phosphate = 600g
Unknown:
Concentration = ?
Solution:
Concentration is the number of moles of solute in a particular solution.
Now, we find the number of moles of the calcium phosphate from the given mass;
Formula of calcium phosphate = Ca₃PO₄
molar mass = 3(40) + 31 + 4(16) = 215g/mol
Number of moles of Ca₃PO₄ =
= 2.79moles
Now;
Concentration =
Concentration =
= 1.12M
27/208 = normality
12 x 10^-2 approx = normality
nw Ka = 14.3 x 10^-3
pKa = 3 - log 14
now, after getting the pKa put it in formula :
pH = pKa + log concn of ion/concn of salt and you'll get it
hope this helps
