Calculate the amount of substance corresponding to 4.9 g of phosphoric acid.

Given:

m (H3PO4) = 4.9 g.

Find:

n (H3PO4) =?

Solution:

1) The amount of substance is determined by the formula: n = m: M.

2) Find the molecular weight of phosphoric acid using the periodic table:

M (H3PO4) = (1 x 3) + 31 + (16 x 4) = 98 g / mol.

3) n (H3PO4) = 4.9 g: 98 g / mol = 0.05 mol.

Answer: n (H3PO4) = 0.05 mol.
