Ammonium phosphate ((nh4)3 po4) is an important ingredient to many fertilizers. it can be made by reacting phosphoric acid (h3 po4) with ammonia (nh3)
what mass of ammonia phosphate is produced by the reaction of 5.24 g of ammonia?

15.35 g of (NH₄)₃PO₄

Explanation:

First we need to look at the chemical reaction:

3 NH₃ + H₃PO₄ → (NH₄)₃PO₄

Now we calculate the number of moles of ammonia (NH₃):

number of moles = mass / molecular wight

number of moles = 5.24 / 17 = 0.308 moles of NH₃

Now from the chemical reaction we devise the following reasoning:

if         3 moles of NH₃ are produce 1 mole of (NH₄)₃PO₄

then   0.308 moles of NH₃ are produce X moles of (NH₄)₃PO₄

X = (0.308 × 1) / 3 = 0.103 moles of (NH₄)₃PO₄

mass = number of moles × molecular wight

mass = 0.103 × 149 = 15.35 g of (NH₄)₃PO₄

true
