Answer:
Mass = 72.52 g
Explanation:
Given data:
Mass of hydrogen phosphate produced = ?
Mass of P₂O₅ react = 105.9 g
Solution:
Chemical equation:
P₂O₅ + 3H₂O → 2H₃PO₄
Number of moles of P₂O₅:
Number of moles = mass/molar mass
Molar mass of P₂O₅ 283.9 g/mol
Number of moles = 105.9 g/ 283.9 g/mol
Number of moles = 0.37 mol
Now we will compare the moles of P₂O₅ with H₃PO₄ from balance chemical equation.
P₂O₅ : H₃PO₄
1 : 2
0.37 : 2/1×0.37= 0.74 mol
Mass of H₃PO₄ :
Mass = number of moles × molar mass
Mass = 0.74 mol × 98 g/mol
Mass = 72.52 g
