JEE MAIN - Chemistry (2006 - No. 42)

How many moles of magnesium phosphate Mg3(PO4)2 will contain 0.25 mole of oxygen atoms?
1.25 $$\times$$ 10-2
2.5 $$\times$$ 10-2
0.02
3.125 $$\times$$ 10-2

Explanation

In one Mg3(PO4)2 molecule no of oxygen atoms = 8

So if there is M mole of Mg3(PO4)2 molecules then no of moles of oxygen atoms is = M $$ \times $$ 8

According to question,

M $$ \times $$ 8 = 0.25

$$ \Rightarrow $$ M = 0.03125 = 3.125 $$\times$$ 10-2
