Question

How many moles of Na3PO4 would be required to react with 1.0 mol of AgNO3?

Answer 1

1/3 mol or .3 repeating, I believe.

Answer 2

Answer: The number of moles of sodium phosphate required is 0.33 moles

Explanation:

We are given:

Moles of silver nitrate = 1 mole

The chemical equation for the reaction of sodium phosphate and silver nitrate follows:

$Na_3PO_4+3AgNO_3\rightarrow 3NaNO_3+Ag_3PO_4$

By Stoichiometry of the reaction:

3 moles of silver nitrate reacts with 1 mole of sodium phosphate.

So, 1.0 moles of silver nitrate will react with = $\frac{1}{3}\times 1.0=0.33mol$ of sodium phosphate.

Hence, the number of moles of sodium phosphate required is 0.33 moles
