phosphorus
Sodium is a metal element. Mass of 3.8 moles is 87.4g.
Phosphorus is a non metal element. Mass number of it is 31.
Na3PO4
Na3PO4 --> 3Na+ + PO43-
To answer this you must first be given the mass of the sample or at least percentage and molecular formula that phosphorus is in
The mass of phosphorus of any sample of calcium phosphate is the mass of the same multiplied by the percentage that phosphorus makes up of that sample. (mass of sample) x (mass of phosphorus/total mass) Therefore we must look at the chemical formula of the substance in question: Ca3(PO4)2. From this we can see that there are 2 phosphorus atoms attributing mass to the total molecule. The formula becomes: 500 g x 2x30.97 g/mol/310.17 g/mol = 99.8 g molar mass of phosphorus: 30.97 g/mol molar mass of calcium phosphate: 310.17 g/mol total mass: 500 g
Only elements have atomic number. Na3PO4 is not an element it is a compound called Sodium Phosphate. It is made of Sodium(Atomic number 11), Phosphorus(Atomic number 15) and Oxygen(Atomic number 8)

Sodium is a metal element. Mass of 3.8 moles is 87.4g.
Phosphorus is a non metal element. Mass number of it is 31.
Phosphorus is a non metal. atomic number of it is 15.
Sodium phosphate is Na3PO4, which means each molecule of sodium phosphate is four atoms of oxygen bound to a central phosphorus atom, with three sodium atoms arranging themselves randomly to three of the oxygen atoms.

why would I know this sit would not give me the answer :[
The atomic mass of phosphorus is approximately 31. Although it can vary slightly depending on the isotope of phosphorus, the most common isotope, phosphorus-31, accounts for the majority of naturally occurring phosphorus.
Phosphorus is a non meta element. Atomic Mass of it is 31. Atomic number of it is 15.
Phosphorus is a non metal element. Atomic mass of it is 31.
