Determine Moles of Na3PO4: First, we need to determine the moles of sodium phosphate produced in the reaction.Moles of Na3PO4 = Molarity (M) * Volume (L)
Convert Volume to Liters: Convert the volume of sodium phosphate from mL to L. Volume of Na3PO4 in liters = 345.4mL×(1000mL1L)=0.3454L
Calculate Moles of Na3PO4: Calculate the moles of Na3PO4 produced.Moles of Na3PO4 = 1.23M×0.3454L=0.424842moles
Use Stoichiometry for H3PO4: Using the stoichiometry of the balanced equation, we can find the moles of H3PO4 that reacted. According to the balanced equation, 3 moles of Na2CO3 react with 2 moles of H3PO4 to produce 2 moles of Na3PO4.
Calculate Moles of H3PO4: Calculate the moles of H3PO4 that reacted using the mole ratio from the balanced equation.Moles of H3PO4 = (2 moles Na3PO42 moles H3PO4)×Moles of Na3PO4Moles of H3PO4 = (22)×0.424842 moles=0.424842 moles
Find Concentration of HH3PO4: Now, we need to find the concentration of the HH3PO4 solution. Concentration is moles of solute divided by the volume of solution in liters.
Convert Volume to Liters: Convert the volume of H3PO4 solution from mL to L.Volume of H3PO4 in liters = 199.2mL×(1000mL1L)=0.1992L
Calculate Concentration of H3PO4: Calculate the concentration of the H3PO4 solution.Concentration of H3PO4 = Moles of H3PO4 / Volume of H3PO4 in litersConcentration of H3PO4 = 0.1992 L0.424842 moles
Perform Division: Perform the division to find the concentration.Concentration of H3PO4=2.133M (rounded to three decimal places)
