When one mole of Na3PO4.3H2O is heated extensively, three moles of water are released.

The water molecules in Na3PO4.3H2O are called molecules of water of crystallization. These molecules are not covalently bonded to the Na3PO4 molecule. They are only loosely attached to the substance.

Strong heating will drive away these molecules of water of crystallization to give three moles of water in the product.

Hence, when one mole of Na3PO4.3H2O is heated extensively, three moles of water are released.

The question is incomplete, complete question is:

When copper(I) sulfide is partially roasted in air (reaction with oxygen), copper(I) sulfite is formed first. subsequently, upon heating, the copper sulfite thermally decomposes to copper(I) oxide and sulfur dioxide. Write balanced chemical equations for these two reactions.

Answer:

The balanced chemical equations for these two reactions:

$2Cu_2S(s)+3O_2(g)\rightarrow 2Cu_2SO_3(s)$
