How to Calculate Moles of Phosphoric Acid in a Solution
How do you calculate the moles of phosphoric acid in a solution?
Given the volume of a phosphoric acid solution is 32.8mL with a concentration of 4.46mo(l)/( L), what is the amount of phosphoric acid in moles?
Calculating Moles of Phosphoric Acid
To calculate the amount of phosphoric acid in moles in a solution, you need to consider the volume and concentration of the solution. In this case, the solution has a volume of 32.8mL and a concentration of 4.46mo(l)/(L).
First, convert the volume from milliliters to liters. Since there are 1000 milliliters in 1 liter, 32.8mL is equal to 0.0328L.
Next, use the formula moles = concentration x volume to find the amount of phosphoric acid in moles. Substitute the values: moles = 4.46mo(l)/(L) x 0.0328L = 0.146 moles.
Therefore, there are approximately 0.146 moles of phosphoric acid in 32.8mL of a 4.46mo(l)/(L) phosphoric acid solution. By following these steps, you can easily calculate the moles of phosphoric acid in a solution.
