Question:

A sample of 70.5 mg of potassium phosphate is added to 15.0 mL of 0.050 M silver nitrate, resulting in the formation of a precipitate. Assuming the reaction goes to completion, calculate the amount, in grams, of precipitate that forms.

{eq}K_3PO_4(aq) + 3AgNO_3(aq) \to Ag_3PO_4(s) + 3KNO_3(aq) {/eq}

Mole to Mole Relation:

When according to the given balanced reaction and reactant amount, the product amount has to be determined, then one should use the mole comparison to determine the product mole. Then mole formula will be helpful to calculate the amount (gram) of the product.
