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
Physical change because it's only changing the shape of the gold.
