Answer:

Bi2(SO4)3

Explanation:

Bismuth(iii) sulfate is an ionic compound therefore, their is transfer of electron. Ionic compound has both cations and anions. The cations is positively charged ion while the anions is negatively charged ions. The cations loses electron to become positively charged while the anions gains electron to become negatively charged.

From the compound above, Bismuth(iii) sulfate the cations will be Bismuth ion which loses 3 electrons. The anions is the sulfate ion (S04)2- with a -2 charge.

The chemical formula can be computed from the charge configuration as follows

Bi3+ and (SO4)2-

cross multiply the charges living the sign behind to get the chemical formula

Bi2(SO4)3

Note the final chemical formula, the numbers are sub scripted

How many grams of sodium carbonate are produced when 5.3 moles of sodium phosphate reacts with aluminum carbonate?

Korvikt [17]

Answer: There is 842.54 grams of sodium carbonate are produced when 5.3 moles of sodium phosphate reacts with aluminum carbonate.

Explanation:

Chemical equation depicting reaction between sodium phosphate and aluminum carbonate is as follows.

$Al_{2}(CO_{3})_{3} + 2Na_{3}PO_{4} \rightarrow 2AlPO_{4} + 3Na_{2}CO_{3}$

As this equation contains same number of atoms on both reactant and product side. So, this equation is a balanced equation.

According to the equation, 2 moles of sodium phosphate is giving 3 moles of sodium carbonate.

Therefore, sodium carbonate formed by 5.3 moles of sodium phosphate is as follows.

$\frac{3}{2} \times 5.3 mol\\= 7.95 mol$

As number of moles is the mass of substance divided by its molar mass. So, mass of sodium carbonate ( molar mass = 105.98 g/mol) is as follows.

$No. of moles = \frac{mass}{molar mass}\\7.95 mol = \frac{mass}{105.98 g/mol}\\mass = 842.54 g$

Thus, we can conclude that there is 842.54 grams of sodium carbonate are produced when 5.3 moles of sodium phosphate reacts with aluminum carbonate.
