Question

Consider the reaction of magnesium hydroxide with phosphoric acid where 10.0 mL of 0.150 M magnesium hydroxide is mixed 15.0 mL of 0.100 M phosphoric acid.

The chemical reaction is provided below.

Mg(OH)2 (aq) + H3PO4 (aq) →Mg3(PO4)2 (s) + H2O (l) 

 

If the percent yield of this reaction was found to be 83.4 %. What is the actual yield in grams of the ionic salt that is obtained from this reaction?

Expert Solution
Step 1

First calculate moles of each reactant by multiply MOLARITY and volume  then find out limiting reagent which is in less quantity so here is Mg(OH)2  limiting reagent. it will be finished in the chemical reaction

Using mole-mole relationship calculate mole of Mg3(PO4)2 formed 

Then calculate mass of Mg3(PO4)2  by multiplying molar mass to the mole.
