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.

explanation:

let the different atoms be x and y. each with four protons and same mass will be represented as follows.

mass number is number of protons + number of neutrons.

            and  

since, it is given that one has a negative charge while the other is neutral. therefore, there will be increase in number of protons and the atom will be represented as follows.

according to periodic table, mass number of beryllium is 9 and it has atomic number 4 so, the atoms will be and .  

the protons and neutrons will be located inside the nucleus whereas the electrons will be revolving around the nucleus.
