Use the equation given to solve the following problems:
Na
3
PO
4
+ 3 AgNO
3
⇒
Ag
3
PO
4
+ 3 NaNO

We already have our balanced equation, so let's do mole to mole ratios
(a) How many moles of Na
3
PO
4
would be required to react with 1.0 mole of AgNO
3
1.0
mole of AgNO
3
(1
Na
3
PO
4
)
/
(3
mole of AgNO
3
)
= 0.3 moles Na
3
PO
4
0.3 moles Na
3
PO
4
are required to react with 1.0 mole of AgNO

(b) How many moles of NaNO
3
can be produced from 0.50 mole of Na
3
PO

?
0.50
mole Na
3
PO
4
(3 moles NaNO
3
)
/
(1
mole Na
3
PO
4
)
= 1.5 moles of NaNO
3
1.5 moles of NaNO
3
can be produced from 0.50 moles Na

(c) How many moles of Ag
3
PO
4
can be produced from 5.00 moles of Na
3

?
5.00 moles Na
3
PO
4
(1 mole Ag
3
PO

)
/
(1
mole Na
3
PO
)
= 5.00 moles Ag
3
PO
4
5.00 moles Ag
3
PO

(d) If you have 3.5 moles of Na
3
PO
4
, how many moles of AgNO
3
will be needed for a complete reaction?
3.5 moles Na
3
PO
4
(3 moles AgNO
3
)
/
(1
Na
3
PO
4
)
= 10.5 moles AgNO
3
11. moles AgNO
3
are needed to complete the reaction
