Question

H3PO4 is a tri basic acid and one of its salt is NaH2PO4. What volume in ml of 1M NaOH solution should be added to 12g of NaH2PO4 to convert it into Na3PO4?

Solution

1) NaH2PO4+2NaOHNa3PO4+H2O

2)​ Thus according to this reaction 1m ofNaH2PO4 react with 2mol ofNaOH.

Molar mass ofNaH2PO4=120g/mol

Number of moles of ​ NaH2PO4 in 12g=0.1mol

Thus number of moles of NaOHrequired for complete reaction to occur=2×0.1mol=0.2mol

3) Thus 0.2molNaOH is required for complete reaction.

Since molarity of NaOHis given to be1mol/L

This means volume of 1mol NaOH=1L

Thus volume of 0.2mol NaOH=1×0.2L=0.2L

=0.2×1000mL=200mL

4) Therefore 200mL of 1MNaOHshould be added to 12g NaH2PO4 to exactly convert it into Na3PO4.
