The idea here is that you need to use the fact that all the moles of sodium phosphate that you dissolve to make this solution will dissociate to produce sodium cations to calculate the concentration of the sodium cations.
Na 3 PO 4 (aq) → Na + (aq) + PO3−4 (aq)
Use the molar mass of sodium phosphate to calculate the number of moles of salt used to make this solution.
3.25g⋅1 mole N 3PO4 163.9g = 0.01983 moles Na3 PO 4
Now, notice that every
1 mole of sodium phosphate that you dissolve in water dissociates to produce
A compound is a substance made up of atoms of two or more different elements joined by chemical bonds. A mixture is a combination of two or more substances that are not chemically combined.
