Answer:
The 2 in the formula means that, there are 2 phosphate anions that forms the salt.
Explanation:
Magnesium phosphate is a ionic salt.
The formula indicates that 3 moles of Mg and 2 moles of anion phosphate are contained in 1 mol of compound.
3Mg²⁺ + 2PO₄⁻³ → Mg₃(PO₄)₂
The phosphate anion comes from phosphoric acid and it is generated when the acid loses the 3 protons.
H₃PO₄ → 3H⁺ + PO₄⁻³
Phosphate has a negative charge of -3, so when it bond to magnesium, which has a charge of +2, there must be 3 magnesium and 2 phosphate to make a global charge +6 -6 in the ions
Mole is mass (g) / Molar mass (mole/gram)
So to find mass in gram multiply the no.mole by Molar mass
Answer:
This question lacks options, the options are:
A. 2.89 x 1022
B. 8.66 x 1022
C. 3.66 x 1023
D. 1.10 x 1024
E. 3.29 x 1024
The answer is C. 3.66 × 10^23
Explanation:
In the chemical compound given as follows: Co2(HPO4)3, hydrogenphosphate ion is (HPO4)3.
Number of moles of hydrogenphosphate ion can be calculated using the formula
mole (n) = mass (m) /molar mass (MM)
Molar mass of (HPO4)3;
{1 + 31 + 16(4)}3
= {32 + 64)3
= (96)3
= 288g/mol
mole = 175/288
mole = 0.6076
mole = 0.607mol
The formula of units of hydrogenphosphate ion can be calculated by multiplying number of moles by Avogadro's number (6.022 × 10²³)
6.022 × 10²³ × 0.607
= 3.655 × 10²³
= 3.66 × 10²³
