Hi, I believe this question is asking what charge Phosphorus will have when it forms an ion. If that is the case, you will see that it based on the column it is in, neutral Phosphorus has 5 valence electrons. When it becomes an ion (has 8 valence electrons), it will GAIN three electrons. Meaning, we can predict that Phosphorus will have a 3- charge when it becomes an ion.
Answer:
Mass = 72.52 g
Explanation:
Given data:
Mass of hydrogen phosphate produced = ?
Mass of P₂O₅ react = 105.9 g
Solution:
Chemical equation:
P₂O₅ + 3H₂O → 2H₃PO₄
Number of moles of P₂O₅:
Number of moles = mass/molar mass
Molar mass of P₂O₅ 283.9 g/mol
Number of moles = 105.9 g/ 283.9 g/mol
Number of moles = 0.37 mol
Now we will compare the moles of P₂O₅ with H₃PO₄ from balance chemical equation.
P₂O₅ : H₃PO₄
1 : 2
0.37 : 2/1×0.37= 0.74 mol
Mass of H₃PO₄ :
Mass = number of moles × molar mass
Mass = 0.74 mol × 98 g/mol
Mass = 72.52 g
