Ascientist wants to make a solution of tribasic sodium phosphate, na3po4, for a laboratory experiment. how many grams of na3po4 will be needed to produce 615 ml of a solution that has a concentration of na ions of 0.545 m

48.38 g of Na3PO4

Explanation:

Na3PO4(s) + H2O(l) ---> 3Na+ + PO4^3-

By stoichiometry, 1 mole of Na3PO4 will dissociate in water to give 3 moles of Na+

Moles of Na+ = concentration of Na+/volume

= 0.545/615 x 10^-3

= 0.886 moles

1 mole of Na+ will be got from 0.33moles of Na3PO4

0.886 moles will be dissociated from 0.333 * 0.886 moles of Na3PO4

Moles of Na3PO4 = 0.295mol

Mass of Na3PO4 = molar mass * mass

Molecular weight = (23*3) + (31*1) + (16*4)

= 164 g/mol

Mass of Na3PO4 = 164 * 0.295

= 48.38 g of Na3PO4

no starving yourself won't it will make you lose more weight what you need to do is find out what foods make you gain weight like bread and meats with fat on
