A sample of hydrated sodium phosphate has a mass of 190 g. Of this, 108 g is the mass of water of crystalisation. What is the molar mass of the hydrated sodium phosphate ?
Dear Student
The molar mass of is 164 g.
Now as the given sample of weight 190 g contains 108 g of water or 6 molecule of hydrated water.
The remaining weight of the sample is the weight of the sodium phosphate = 190 - 108 = 82 g
This infers that the sample contain just half of molar weight of the .
So, the molar mass of the hydrated sodium phosphate will be 480 g. Which contains 12 molecule of hydrated water.
The formula of the hydrated sodium phosphate is .
