Question

Answer the following for the reaction: 3AgNO3(aq)+Na3PO4(aq)→Ag3PO4(s)+3NaNO3(aq)

1. How many milliliters of a 0.255 MAgNO3 solution are required to react with 31.1 mL of 0.135 MNa3PO4 solution?
2. How many grams of silver phosphate are produced from the reaction of 23.0 mL of a 0.195 MAgNO3 solution and excess Na3PO4?

Answer 1

Answer:1) Volume of $AgNO_3$ required is 55.98 mL.

2) 0.62577 grams of $Ag_3PO_4$ is produced.

Explanation:

$3AgNO_3(aq)+Na_3PO_4(aq)\rightarrow Ag_3PO_4(s)+3NaNO_3(aq)$

1) Molarity of $AgNO_3,M_1=0.225 M$

Volume of $AgNO_3.V_1=?$

Molarity of $Na_3PO_4,M_2=0.135 M$

Volume of $Na_3PO_4,V_2=31.1 mL=0.0311 L$

$Molarity=\frac{\text{number of moles}}{\text{volume of solution in liters}}$

$\text{number of moles }Na_3PO_4=M_2\times V_2=0.135 mol/L\times 0.0311 L=0.0041985 moles$

According to reaction, 1 mole of $Na_3PO_4$ reacts with 3 mole of $AgNO_3$, then, 0.0041985 moles of $Na_3PO_4$ will react with:

$\frac{3}{1}\times 0.0041985$ moles of $AgNO_3$ that is 0.0125955 moles.

$M_1=0.225 M=\frac{\text{number of moles of }AgNO_3}{V_1}$

$V_1=\frac{0.0125955 moles}{0.225 M}=0.05598 L=55.98 mL$

Volume of $AgNO_3$ required is 55.98 mL.

2)

$Molarity=0.195 M=\frac{\text{number of moles}}{\text{volume of solution in liters}}$

Number of moles of $AgNO_3=0.195\times 0.023 L=0.004485 moles$

According to reaction, 3 moles of $AgNO_3$ gives 1 mole of $Ag_3PO_4$, then 0.004485 moles of $AgNO_3$ will give:$\frac{1}{3}\times 0.004485$ moles of $Ag_3PO_4$ that is 0.001495 moles.

Mass of $Ag_3PO_4$ =

Moles of $Ag_3PO_4$ × Molar Mass of $Ag_3PO_4$

= 0.001495 moles × 418.58 g/mol = 0.62577 g

0.62577 grams of $Ag_3PO_4$ is produced.
