Answer: The number of moles of sodium phosphate required is 0.33 moles
Explanation:
We are given:
Moles of silver nitrate = 1 mole
The chemical equation for the reaction of sodium phosphate and silver nitrate follows:
[tex]Na_3PO_4+3AgNO_3\rightarrow 3NaNO_3+Ag_3PO_4[/tex]
By Stoichiometry of the reaction:
3 moles of silver nitrate reacts with 1 mole of sodium phosphate.
So, 1.0 moles of silver nitrate will react with = [tex]\frac{1}{3}\times 1.0=0.33mol[/tex] of sodium phosphate.
Hence, the number of moles of sodium phosphate required is 0.33 moles
