Q. Consider the reaction between Na2CO3(aq)\mathrm{Na_2CO_3(aq)} and H3PO4(aq)\mathrm{H_3PO_4(aq)} as shown in the following balanced equation:\newline3Na2CO3(aq)+2H3PO4(aq)2Na3PO4(aq)+3H2O(l)+3CO2(g)3\mathrm{Na_2CO_3(aq)} + 2\mathrm{H_3PO_4(aq)} \rightarrow 2\mathrm{Na_3PO_4(aq)} + 3\mathrm{H_2O(l)} + 3\mathrm{CO_2(g)}\newline\begin{array}{ll}\newline\text{Chemical} & \text{MW} (\newline\)\mathrm{Na_2CO_3} & 105105.991991 (\newline\)\mathrm{H_3PO_4} & 9797.99779977 (\newline\)\mathrm{Na_3PO_4} & 163163.944944 (\newline\)\mathrm{H_2O} & 1818.01580158 (\newline\)\mathrm{CO_2} & 4444.011011 (\newline\)\end{array}\newlineWhat is the concentration of the phosphoric acid solution if 199.2mL199.2\,\mathrm{mL} of it generates 345.4mL345.4\,\mathrm{mL} of a 1.23M1.23\,\mathrm{M} sodium phosphate for complete reaction?
  1. Determine Moles of Na3_3PO4_4: First, we need to determine the moles of sodium phosphate produced in the reaction.\newlineMoles of Na3_3PO4_4 = Molarity (M)(M) * Volume (L)(L)
  2. Convert Volume to Liters: Convert the volume of sodium phosphate from mL to L. Volume of Na3PO4\text{Na}_3\text{PO}_4 in liters = 345.4mL×(1L1000mL)=0.3454L345.4\,\text{mL} \times \left(\frac{1\,\text{L}}{1000\,\text{mL}}\right) = 0.3454\,\text{L}
  3. Calculate Moles of Na33PO44: Calculate the moles of Na33PO44 produced.\newlineMoles of Na33PO44 = 1.23M×0.3454L=0.424842moles1.23 \, \text{M} \times 0.3454 \, \text{L} = 0.424842 \, \text{moles}
  4. Use Stoichiometry for H3PO4\text{H}_3\text{PO}_4: Using the stoichiometry of the balanced equation, we can find the moles of H3PO4\text{H}_3\text{PO}_4 that reacted. According to the balanced equation, 33 moles of Na2CO3\text{Na}_2\text{CO}_3 react with 22 moles of H3PO4\text{H}_3\text{PO}_4 to produce 22 moles of Na3PO4\text{Na}_3\text{PO}_4.
  5. Calculate Moles of H33PO44: Calculate the moles of H33PO44 that reacted using the mole ratio from the balanced equation.\newlineMoles of H33PO44 = (2 moles H3PO42 moles Na3PO4)×Moles of Na3PO4(\frac{2 \text{ moles H3PO4}}{2 \text{ moles Na3PO4}}) \times \text{Moles of Na3PO4}\newlineMoles of H33PO44 = (22)×0.424842 moles=0.424842 moles(\frac{2}{2}) \times 0.424842 \text{ moles} = 0.424842 \text{ moles}
  6. Find Concentration of HH3PO4\text{H}_3\text{PO}_4: Now, we need to find the concentration of the HH3PO4\text{H}_3\text{PO}_4 solution. Concentration is moles of solute divided by the volume of solution in liters.
  7. Convert Volume to Liters: Convert the volume of H3PO4\text{H}_3\text{PO}_4 solution from mL to L.\newlineVolume of H3PO4\text{H}_3\text{PO}_4 in liters = 199.2mL×(1L1000mL)=0.1992L199.2\,\text{mL} \times \left(\frac{1\,\text{L}}{1000\,\text{mL}}\right) = 0.1992\,\text{L}
  8. Calculate Concentration of H33PO44: Calculate the concentration of the H33PO44 solution.\newlineConcentration of H33PO44 = Moles of H33PO44 / Volume of H33PO44 in liters\newlineConcentration of H33PO44 = 0.424842 moles0.1992 L\frac{0.424842 \text{ moles}}{0.1992 \text{ L}}
  9. Perform Division: Perform the division to find the concentration.\newlineConcentration of H3PO4=2.133M\mathrm{H_3PO_4} = 2.133\,\mathrm{M} (rounded to three decimal places)
