Na3PO4 + AgNO3

Use the equation given to solve the following problems:

Na3PO4 + 3 AgNO3    Ag3PO4 + 3 NaNO3



We already have our balanced equation, so let's do mole to mole ratios


(a) How many moles of Na3PO4 would be required to react with 1.0 mole of AgNO3

1.0 mole of AgNO3 
(1 Na3PO4) / (3 mole of AgNO3)
  = 0.3 moles Na3PO4

0.3 moles Na3PO4 are required to react with 1.0 mole of AgNO3



(b) How many moles of NaNO3 can be produced from 0.50 mole of Na3PO4?

0.50 mole Na3PO4 
(3 moles NaNO3) / (1 mole Na3PO4)
  = 1.5 moles of NaNO3

1.5 moles of NaNO3can be produced from 0.50 moles Na3PO4



(c) How many moles of Ag3PO4 can be produced from 5.00 moles of Na3PO4?

5.00 moles Na3PO4 
(1 mole Ag3PO4) / (1 mole Na3PO)
  = 5.00 moles Ag3PO4

5.00 moles Ag3PO4 can be produced from 5.00 moles Na3PO4



(d) If you have 3.5 moles of Na3PO4, how many moles of AgNO3 will be needed for a complete reaction?

3.5 moles Na3PO4 
(3 moles AgNO3) / (1 Na3PO4)
  = 10.5 moles AgNO3

11. moles AgNO3 are needed to complete the reaction
