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 = 4 moles of H₃PO₄
Given :
Moles of Na : 1.06
Moles of C : 0.528
Moles of O : 1.59
To Find :
The empirical formula of the compound.
Solution :
Dividing moles of each atom with the smallest one i.e 0.528 .
So,
Na : 1.06/0.528 = 2.007 ≈ 2
C : 0.528/0.528 = 1
O : 1.59/0.528 = 3.011 ≈ 3
Rounding all them to nearest integer, we will get the number of each atom in the empirical formula.
So, empirical formula is .
Hence, this is the required solution.
