Answer:
In a neutral molecule, the sum of the bonding valance electrons must be equal. So the products of the negative element and its charges and the positive element and its charge must be equal.
Explanation:
C1×N1 = C2×N2
If we have a 3 valance electrons , the 'A' charge will be either +3 or -5 for a full octet and valance electron in 'B' atoms will mostly result in acquisition of additional electrons (2) for an octet and relative charge of -2.
Balancing the two,
3 × A = -2 × B
To be equal, A = 2 and B = 3
Therefore, A²B³
H3PO4 has molecular weight of approximately 98 grams per
mole. 4.50 M is equal to 4.50 mole per 1000 mL solution of H3PO4. 255 mL times
4.50 mol /1000 mL times 98 g/mol is equal to 112.455 grams. Note that I
automatically equate 1 Liter to 1000 mL since the given volume is in mL for
easier computation.
