Trisodium Phosphate
The correct name of the compound Na3PO4 is sodium phosphate.
Sodium phosphate is the name, but it is NOT an acid, rather a base!
The name trisodium phosphate is incorrect for the compound Na3PO4 because trisodium phosphate actually refers to the compound Na3PO4.12H2O, which contains water molecules in addition to the phosphate group. The correct name for the compound Na3PO4 is sodium phosphate.
Sodium Phosphate, though the actual formula is Na3PO4
Na3PO4
There is NO symbol for sodium phosphate. It is a chemical formula. The chemical formula is ' Na3PO4 '.
Na3PO4(aq) = 3Na^(+) (aq) + PO4^(3-) (aq) 'NB ' 'aq' is for 'aqueous' , from Latin for 'water'.
Sodium phosphate (Na3PO4).
The net ionic equation for Na3PO4 is 3Na+ + PO4^3- -> Na3PO4. This equation shows that the sodium ion (Na+) and phosphate ion (PO4^3-) combine to form sodium phosphate (Na3PO4) without any spectator ions.
There are 0.75 moles of sodium ions present in 2.50 L of 0.300 M Na3PO4. Each formula unit of Na3PO4 has 3 sodium ions. So, for every mole of Na3PO4, there are 3 moles of sodium ions. Calculating the moles of sodium ions: 2.5 L * 0.300 mol/L * 3 mol Na+ / 1 mol Na3PO4 = 0.75 moles of Na+.
Phosphorus has a molar mass of 30.97 g/mol, while the molar mass of Na3PO4 is 163.94 g/mol. To find the percentage by mass of phosphorus in Na3PO4, divide the molar mass of phosphorus by the molar mass of Na3PO4, and multiply by 100. This gives a percentage by mass of approximately 18.9% phosphorus in Na3PO4.
