Ammonium phosphate is an important ingredient in many fertilizers. It can be made by reacting phosphoric acid with ammonia . What mass of ammonium phosphate is produced by the reaction of of ammonia?

The mass of ammonium phosphate produced is 14.3g

Explanation:

Full question contains: "What mass of ammonium phosphate is produced by the reaction of 4.9g of ammonia"

Ammonium phosphate ((NH₄)₃PO₄) can be produced by the reaction of phosphoric acid (H₃PO₄) with ammonia (NH₃) as follows:

H₃PO₄ + 3NH₃ → (NH₄)₃PO₄

Where 1 mole of phosphoric acid reacts with 3 moles of ammonia producing 1 mole of ammonium phosphate.

To know how many grams of ammonium phosphate we need to find moles of ammonia that react, and, with the chemical equation we can find moles of ammonium phosphate and its mass as follows:

Moles ammonia (Molar mass: 17.031g/mol):

4.9g × (1mol / 17.031g) = 0.288 moles of ammonia you have in 4.9g

Moles of ammonium phosphate (149.09g/mol) and its mass:

As 0.288 moles of NH₃ are reacting and 3 moles of ammonia produce 1 mole of ammonium phosphate, moles produced are:

Moles (NH₄)₃PO₄:

0.288 moles NH₃ ₓ (1 mol (NH₄)₃PO₄  / 3 mol NH₃) = 0.0959 moles (NH₄)₃PO₄

These moles are, in grams:

0.0959 moles (NH₄)₃PO₄ ₓ (149.09g / mol) = 14.3g ammonium phosphate.

assuming that your periodic table has eighteen columns, you should highlight   the four elements in the third column from the left of the table.

neutral atoms of elements after calcium contain d electrons. the energy of d orbitals of a particular main shell lies between the energy of the s and p orbitals of the next main shell. for example, electrons in the have energy higher than those in the orbital while lower than those of the orbital.

by the aufbau principle, electrons fill orbitals one at a time, starting from those of the lowest energy. the orbital is therefore filled right after orbitals and before orbitals.  

potassium has electron configuration and calcium . the s orbital of a main shell holds a maximum of two electrons. the next element would thus have the electron configuration and satisfy the requirements.

a neutral atom of the element contains three electrons on top of the most recent noble gas element. it should thus be placed in the third column of the periodic table. both scandium and yttrium would satisfy the conditions. an aufbau diagram indicates that the 4f orbital is filled before the 5d. however, it appears that exceptions exists for both lanthanum and actinium. neutral atoms of the two d-block elements also demonstrate the and should be highlighted as well.
