How many moles of magnesium phosphate, Mg_3(PO_4)_2 will contain 0.25 mole of oxygen atoms?

Question

Accepted Answer

Correct answer: B. (b) 1 molecule of Mg_3 ( PO_4 )_2 has 8 atoms of Oxygen. ⇒1 mole of Mg_3 ( PO_4 )_2 has 8 mole of Oxygen atoms. Now, it is given 0.25 mole of oxygen atoms ∴ Moles of Mg_3 ( PO_4 )_2 having 0.25 mole of O atoms is 0.25 18 moles =0.03125 moles =3.125 10^-2 moles Hence, option b is correct.
