Moles of phosphoric acid would be needed : 0.833
<h3>Further explanation</h3>
Given
15 grams of water
Required
moles of phosphoric acid
Solution
Reaction(decomposition) :
H3PO4 -> H2O + HPO3
mol water (H2O :
= mass : MW
= 15 g : 18 g/mol
= 0.833
From the equation, mol ratio H3PO4 = mol H2O = 1 : 1, so mol H3PO4 = 0.833
<u><em>Answer:</em></u>
- The correct option is C.
- Formation of a precipitate
<u><em>Explanation:</em></u>
During a chemical reaction, new substances are formed known as a products, mostly reaction occur and their product is obtained as precipitates.
<u><em>Example</em></u>
Arylidene-2-thiobarbituric acid is obtained as precipitates when aldehyde and thiobarbituric acid react to each other.
melting of a substance
It is just indication of physical changes, like melting of ice, composition remained same as before.
boiling of a substance
It is just indication of physical changes, like boiling of water into vapors, composition remained same as before.
freezing of a substance
It is just indication of physical changes, like freezing of water into ice, composition remained same as before
