How many grams of sodium phosphate are needed to have 1.67 moles of sodium ion?

91.29 g of Na₃PO₄ are needed to produce 1.67 moles of sodium ions.

Explanation:

The formula for sodium phosphate is Na₃PO₄

Molar mass of sodium phosphate = 164 g/mol

The dissociation of one mole of sodium phosphate produces 3 moles of sodium ions;

Na₃PO₄ > 3Na⁺ + PO₄³

Number of moles of Na₃PO₄ that will produce 1.67 moles of Na⁺ = 1/3 * 1.67 = 0.556 moles  of Na₃PO₄

Mass of 0.556 moles of Na₃PO₄ = 0.556 moles * 164 g/mol = 91.29 g

Therefore, 91.29 g of Na₃PO₄ are needed to produce 1.67 moles of sodium ions.
