The formula unit for the most common form of calcium phosphate is Ca3(PO4)2. Therefore each formula unit, the ionically bonded counterpart of a mole for covalently bonded compounds, contains three calcium ions. The number of calcium ions in 8.0 "moles" of calcium phosphate is 3 [exact] X 8.0 X Avogadro's Number or 1.45 X 1025 atoms, where the depressed last digit of 1.45 indicates that this digit may not be significant. (The significant-digits-limiting datum is 8.0 moles.)

How many potassium ions are needed to bond with phosphate ions?

Two potassium ions are needed to bond with one phosphate ion. Potassium has a +1 charge while phosphate has a -3 charge, so it takes two potassium ions (each with a +1 charge) to balance the charge of one phosphate ion.

How many grams of phosphorus are in 500 grams of calcium phosphate?

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
