What is the molar mass of H3PO4? (Molar mass of H = 1.0079 g/mol; P = 30.974 g/mol; O = 15.999 g/mol)
72.98 g/mol
O 78.22 g/mol
88.24 g/mol
97.99 g/mol

Molar mass of H3PO4  = 97.99 g/mol (Approx.)

Explanation:

Find:

Molar mass of H3PO4

Given;

Molar mass of H = 1.0079 g/mol

Molar mass of P = 30.974 g/mol

Molar mass of O = 15.999 g/mol

Computation:

Molar mass of H3PO4  = (1.0079)(3) + 30.974 + 15.999(4)

Molar mass of H3PO4  = 3.0237 + 30.974 + 63.996

Molar mass of H3PO4  = 97.9937

Molar mass of H3PO4  = 97.99 g/mol (Approx.)

answer:

the answer is 6 valence electrons.

explanation:

valence is the # of electrons on the outer most shell of an atom.

oxygen has 6.

although, the valency of oxygen is 2, because it only needs to make 2 covalent bonds, or gain 2 electrons, to achieve the stable octet configuration of a noble gas.

that's it!
