Answer:
15.35 g of (NH₄)₃PO₄
Explanation:
First we need to look at the chemical reaction:
3 NH₃ + H₃PO₄ → (NH₄)₃PO₄
Now we calculate the number of moles of ammonia (NH₃):
number of moles = mass / molecular wight
number of moles = 5.24 / 17 = 0.308 moles of NH₃
Now from the chemical reaction we devise the following reasoning:
if 3 moles of NH₃ are produce 1 mole of (NH₄)₃PO₄
then 0.308 moles of NH₃ are produce X moles of (NH₄)₃PO₄
X = (0.308 × 1) / 3 = 0.103 moles of (NH₄)₃PO₄
mass = number of moles × molecular wight
mass = 0.103 × 149 = 15.35 g of (NH₄)₃PO₄
We will use the expression for freezing point depression ∆Tf
∆Tf = i Kf m
Since we know that the freezing point of water is 0 degree Celsius, temperature change ∆Tf is
∆Tf = 0C - (-3°C) = 3°C
and the van't Hoff Factor i is approximately equal to 2 since one molecule of KCl in aqueous solution will produce one K+ ion and one Cl- ion:
KCl → K+ + Cl-
Therefore, the molality m of the solution can be calculated as
3 = 2 * 1.86 * m
m = 3 / (2 * 1.86)
m = 0.80 molal
