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 5.5g of phosphoric acid

8.3 g

Explanation:

Step 1: Write the balanced equation

H₃PO₄ + 3 NH₃ ⇒ (NH₄)₃PO₄

Step 2: Calculate the moles corresponding to 5.5 g of H₃PO₄

The molar mass of H₃PO₄ is 97.99 g/mol.

5.5 g × 1 mol/97.99 g = 0.056 mol

Step 3: Calculate the moles of (NH₄)₃PO₄ produced

The molar ratio of H₃PO₄ to (NH₄)₃PO₄is 1:1. The moles of (NH₄)₃PO₄ produced are 1/1 × 0.056 mol = 0.056 mol.

Step 4: Calculate the mass corresponding to 0.056 moles of (NH₄)₃PO₄

The molar mass of (NH₄)₃PO₄ is 149.09 g/mol.

0.056 mol × 149.09 g/mol = 8.3 g

the ideal gas law equation is as follows

pv = nrt

where p - pressure

v - volume

n - number of moles

r - universal gas constant

t - temperature

so if the pressure, volume and temperature are already known

we are left with n and r

since r is the universal gas constant that has a known fixed value then r too is known

so we are left with 'n'

once we know temperature volume and pressure

we can find the number of moles of gas present using the ideal gas law equation
