Ammonium phosphate NH43PO4 is an important ingredient in many solid fertilizers. It can be made by reacting aqueous phosphoric acid H3PO4 with liquid ammonia. Calculate the moles of ammonium phosphate produced by the reaction of 2.0mol of phosphoric acid. Be sure your answer has a unit symbol, if necessary, and round it to 2 significant digits.
Question
Ammonium phosphate NH43PO4 is an important ingredient in many solid fertilizers. It can be made by reacting aqueous phosphoric acid H3PO4 with liquid ammonia. Calculate the moles of ammonium phosphate produced by the reaction of 2.0mol of phosphoric acid. Be sure your answer has a unit symbol, if necessary, and round it to 2 significant digits.
Solution
The balanced chemical equation for the reaction is:
H3PO4 + 3NH3 -> (NH4)3PO4
From the balanced equation, we can see that one mole of phosphoric acid (H3PO4) reacts with three moles of ammonia (NH3) to produce one mole of ammonium phosphate ((NH4)3PO4).
Therefore, if we have 2.0 moles of phosphoric acid, we can produce 2.0 moles of ammonium phosphate, assuming we have enough ammonia for the reaction.
So, the moles of ammonium phosphate produced by the reaction of 2.0 mol of phosphoric acid is 2.0 mol.
