Answer:

Al°(s)  + 3Ag⁺(aq) => Al⁺³(aq) + 3Ag(s)

Explanation:

Oxidation:                            Al°(s) =>   Al⁺³(aq) + 3e⁻

Reduction:           3Ag⁺(aq) + 3e⁻ => 3Ag°(s)

_________________________________________

Net Rxn:           Al°(s)  + 3Ag⁺(aq) => Al⁺³(aq) + 3Ag(s)

One mole of neutral aluminum atoms (Al°(s)) undergo oxidation delivering 3 moles  of electrons to 3 moles silver ions (3Ag⁺³(aq)) that are reduced to 3 moles of neutral silver atoms (3Ag°(s)) in basic standard state 25°C; 1atm.

How many moles of H3PO4 would produce 12 moles of water in this reaction? ЗKOH + H3PO4 K3PO4 + 3H20
Olenka [21]

Answer:

4 moles of H₃PO₄

Explanation:

The reaction expression is given as;

     3KOH   + H₃PO₄   →   K₃PO₄   +  3H₂O

Number of moles of water  =  12moles

Unknown:

Number of moles of H₃PO₄ = ?

Solution:

 From the balanced reaction expression we see that;

          3 moles of water is produced from 1 mole of H₃PO₄

So;    12 moles of water would be produced from \frac{12}{3} = 4 moles of H₃PO₄
