Which has more ions-2.0 moles of AL₂(SO₄)₃ or 3.0 moles of Na₃PO₄?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

- AL₂(SO₄)₃ has 2 aluminum ions (Al³⁺) and 3 sulfate ions (SO₄²⁻) per molecule, giving a total of 5 ions per molecule. Therefore, 2 moles of AL₂(SO₄)₃ would have 5 x 2 = 10 moles of ions. - Na3PO₄ has 3 sodium ions (Na⁺) and 1 phosphate ion (PO₄³⁻) per molecule, giving a total of 4 ions per molecule. Therefore, 3 moles of Na3PO₄ would have 4 x 3 = 12 moles of ions. Thus, 3.0 moles of Na3PO₄ has more ions than 2.0 moles of AL₂(SO₄)₃.
