81.875 g of magnesium phosphate Mg₂(PO₄)₃

Explanation:

The chemical formula of magnesium phosphate is Mg₃(PO₄)₂.

molar mass of Mg₃(PO₄)₂ = atomic weight of Mg × 3 + atomic weight of P × 3 + atomic weight of O × 3 × 4

molar mass of Mg₃(PO₄)₂ = 24 × 3 + 31 × 2 + 16 × 2 × 4 = 262 g/mole

Knowing the molar mass of Mg₃(PO₄)₂, we devise the following reasoning:

if in 262 g of Mg₂(PO₄)₃ there are 48 g of Mg

then in X g of Mg₂(PO₄)₃ there are 15 g of Mg

X = (262 × 15) / 48 = 81.875 g of Mg₂(PO₄)₃

How do I determine the number of atoms in 30.0 g of K

Alika [10]

The number of atoms in 30.0 g of K would be 4.632 x $10^{23}$ atoms.

<h3>Avogadro's number</h3>

1 mole of a substance contains 6.022 x $10^{23}$ atoms.

Mole of 30.0 g of K potassium = 30/39

= 0.7692 moles

Hence, 0.7692 moles of K would contain

0.7692 x 6.022 x $10^{23}$ atoms.

= 4.632 x $10^{23}$ atoms.
