Ammonium phosphate nh43po4 is an important ingredient in many fertilizers. it can be made by reacting phosphoric acid h3po4 with ammonia nh3 . what mass of ammonium phosphate is produced by the reaction of 4.9g of phosphoric acid? round your answer to 2 significant digits.

The reaction between phosphoric acid and ammonia that produces ammonium phosphate can be written as follows:
3NH3 + H3PO4 > (NH4)3PO4

From the periodic table:
molar mass of nitrogen = 14 grams
molar mass of hydrogen = 1 grams
molar mass of oxygen = 16 grams
molar mass of phosphorus = 30.9 grams

based on this:
molar mass of 3NH3 = 3 (14 + 3(1)) = 51 grams
molar mass of H3PO4 = 3(1) + 30.9 + 4(16) = 97.9 grams
molar mass of  (NH4)3PO4 = 3 (14 + 4(1)) + 30.9 + 4(16) = 54 + 30.9 + 64
                                            = 148.9 grams

Therefore, 97.9 grams of phosphoric acid is required to produced 148.9 grams of ammonium phosphate.
Thus, to know the mass of ammonium phosphate produced from 4.9 grams of phosphoric acid, we will simply use cross multiplication as follows:
amount of produced ammonium phosphate = (4.9 x 148.9) / 97.9 = 7.45 g

Engineers have contribute to society in many ways like making the technology we use today or any type of power energy material
