suppose a solution containing 3.50 g of sodium phosphate is mixed with a solution containing 6.40 g of barium nitrate. how many grams of barium phosphate can be formed?
-
2Na3PO4 + 3Ba(NO3)2 -------------------> 6NaNO3 + Ba3(PO4)2
3.50g ----------6.40g-------------------------…
for 2Na3PO4
3.50g/227m.mass = .01 moles
for 3Ba(NO3)2
6.4g/987 m.mass =.006 moles
since 2Na3PO4 is in excess... you use the limiting which is 3Ba(NO3)2 at 0.006 moles
since 3Ba(NO3)2 has 3x the moles Ba3(PO4)2 has you divide the number of moles by 3
which is .002
the molar mass of Ba3(PO4)2 is 601
g = moles X molar mass
so
1.2g of barium phosphate can be formed...
that was a hell of a problem.
You're welcome
