I need help

OpenStudy (unbelievabledreams):

What is the molarity of an aqueous phosphoric acid solution if 14.40 mL is completely neutralized by 20.28 mL of 0.1503 M NaOH? Calculate the moles of H3PO4 at the dilution based on the volume and molarity of NaOH used.

OpenStudy (jadeishere):

I can't help right now, I'm so sorry!!!!!! I swear if I had more time to explain how to do this, I would, and yeah... So sorry :( Any other time, but I have to go to work... So extremely sorry

OpenStudy (unbelievabledreams):

Don't worry about it. Take care :)

OpenStudy (aaronandyson):

Calculate Mole NaOH.

OpenStudy (unbelievabledreams):

How? Molar mass of NaOH x 1/3 ?

OpenStudy (aaronandyson):

0.2028/0.1503

OpenStudy (unbelievabledreams):

1.3493 ?

OpenStudy (aaronandyson):

Good.

OpenStudy (aaronandyson):

Now write the balanced equation of the chemical reaction.

OpenStudy (unbelievabledreams):

H3PO4 + 3 NaOH → Na3PO4 + 3 H2O

OpenStudy (unbelievabledreams):

Is that right?

OpenStudy (unbelievabledreams):

@AaronAndyson

OpenStudy (aaronandyson):

Looks good.

OpenStudy (aaronandyson):

Now using the formulas you can solve the question.

OpenStudy (unbelievabledreams):

so it is 1.343 mol NaOH x (1 mol H3PO4 / 3 mol NaOH) is 0.4498?

OpenStudy (unbelievabledreams):

Right?

OpenStudy (unbelievabledreams):

I am so confused. x_X

OpenStudy (unbelievabledreams):

All I need is to calculate the moles of H3PO4. :/

Parth (parthkohli):

The number of moles of H3PO4 is just one-third the number of moles of NaOH. So we can write the number of moles of H3PO4 (n) as:\[n = \frac{1}3 M_{NaOH}V_{NaOH}\]
