Answer:
31.652g of Na3PO4
Explanation:
We'll begin by calculating the molarity of Na3PO4 solution. This can be achieved as shown below:
Na3PO4 will dessicate in solution as follow:
Na3PO4(aq) —> 3Na+(aq) + PO4³¯(aq)
From the balanced equation above,
1 mole of Na3PO4 produce 3 moles of sodium ion, Na+.
Therefore, xM Na3PO4 will produce 1.10M sodium ion, Na+ i.e
xM Na3PO4 = (1.10 x 1)/3
xM Na3PO4 = 0.367M
Therefore, the molarity of Na3PO4 is 0.367M.
Next, we shall determine the number of mole of Na3PO4 in the solution. This is illustrated below:
Molarity of Na3PO4 = 0.367M
Volume = 525mL = 525/1000 = 0.525L
Mole of Na3PO4 =..?
Molarity = mole /Volume
0.367 = mole /0.525
Cross multiply
Mole of Na3PO4 = 0.367 x 0.525
Mole of Na3PO4 = 0.193 mole.
Finally, we shall convert 0.193 mole of Na3PO4 to grams. This is illustrated below:
Molar mass of Na3PO4 = (23x3) + 31 + (16x4) = 164g/mol
Mole of Na3PO4 = 0.193 mole
Mass of Na3PO4 =.?
Mass = mole x molar mass
Mass of Na3PO4 = 0.193 x 164
Mass of Na3PO4 = 31.652g
Therefore, 31.652g of Na3PO4 is needed to prepare the solution.
