Ammonium phosphate is an important ingredient in many solid fertilizers. It can be made by reacting aqueous phosphoric acid with liquid ammonia. Calculate the moles of phosphoric acid needed to produce 1.80 mol of ammonium phosphate. Be sure your answer has a unit symbol, if necessary, and round it to the correct number of significant digits.

Explanation:

The reaction is

H3Po4+3NH3\to→ (NH4)3PO4

Given,7.10g NH3=7.10g/molar mass of NH3

=7.10g/(17.031g/mol)

=0.416mol

From the reaction

3 mol ammonia reacted and produced 1 mole of ammoniam phosphate

So,One mole ammonia reacted and produced 1/ 3 mole ammonium phosphate.

And Also,0.416 mole ammonium reacted and produced (1/3)0.416=0.138 mole ammonium phosphate.

Hence 0.138mole=0.138mole*149.08 g/mole

               =20.573gm ammonium phosphate produced.

Hence 20.573g of ammonium phosphate is produced by the reaction of 7.10 g of ammonia.

the answer is a
