Answer:

C) The compound is largely ionic with A as the cation.

Explanation:

Pulings proposed the method to determine if the compound is ionic in nature or covalent in nature , by finding the difference between the electronegativity of the respective cation and anion .

The ion with higher electronegativity is the anion and the ion with lower electronegativity is the cation.

The electronegativity difference above 1.7 make the compound ionic in nature.

Hence, from the question ,

A is the cation and B is the anion.

And the electronegativity difference above 1.7 so the compound is ionic in nature.

What sample size (grams) of Na3PO4 (FW 164.00) known to be 50.00% pure should be used to consume exactly 40.00 mL of 0.1000 M HC
Mkey [24]

Answer:

0.109 g.

Explanation:

Equation of the reaction:

Na3PO4 + 3HCl --> 3NaCl + H3PO4

Number of moles of HCl = molar concentration × volume

= 0.1 × 0.04

= 0.004 mol.

By stoichiometry, 1 mole of Na3PO4 neutralises 3 moles of HCl. Therefore, number of moles of Na3PO4 = 0.004/3

= 0.0013 mol

Mass of Na3PO4 = molar mass × number of moles

= 0.0013 × 164

= 0.219 g

Since 50% of Na3PO4 was present in the sample. Let 100 g be the total mass of the substance

= 0.219 × 50 g/100 g

= 0.109 g.
