whats the answer to this question 2 how do you balnce the equations and whats the ans for question 3
Explanation / Answer
Ans 2 and 3
Balanced equations
P2O5(s) + 3 H2O(l) = 2 H3PO4(aq)
H3PO4 (aq)+ H2O(l) = HPO4 2-(aq)
Mg2+(aq) + NH3(aq) + HPO4 2-(aq) + 6H2O(l) = MgNH4PO4.6H2O(s)
n (MgNH4PO4.6H2O) = n (PO4 3-)
moles of (MgNH4PO4.6H2O) = moles as the original phosphate (PO4^3-) in the sample
molecular weight of MgNH4PO4.6H2O = 245.3 g/mol
Let x = mass of MgNH4PO4.6H2O
Moles of MgNH4PO4.6H2O = mass/molecular weight
= x/245.3
molar ratio for MgNH4PO4.6H2O to H3PO4 = 1: 1
Moles of H3PO4 = x/245.3
mole of P2O5 = 1/2 mol of (H3PO4)
Moles of P2O5 = 0.5x/245.3
molecular weight of P2O5 = 142 g/mol
Mass of P2O5 = moles x molecular weight
= (0.5x/245.3) * 142 = 0.289x
Let initial mass of fertilizer = y g
% of P2O5 in the fertilizer = (0.289x/y)*100%
