The correct Answer is:
To find the equivalent weight of \( H_3PO_4 \) in the given redox reaction, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Identify the Oxidation States In the reaction: \[ Cu_3P + Cr_2O_7^{2-} \rightarrow Cu^{2+} + H_3PO_4 + Cr^{3+} \] - **Copper (Cu)** changes from +1 to +2 (oxidation). - **Phosphorus (P)** changes from -3 in \( Cu_3P \) to +5 in \( H_3PO_4 \) (oxidation). - **Chromium (Cr)** changes from +6 in \( Cr_2O_7^{2-} \) to +3 (reduction). ### Step 2: Determine the Change in Oxidation States - For **Copper**: The change is \( +1 \) (from +1 to +2). - For **Phosphorus**: The change is \( +8 \) (from -3 to +5). - For **Chromium**: The change is \( -3 \) (from +6 to +3). ### Step 3: Write the Balanced Redox Reaction The balanced equation for the reaction is: \[ 3 Cu_3P + 3 Cr_2O_7^{2-} + 26 H^+ \rightarrow 6 Cu^{2+} + 6 Cr^{3+} + 2 H_3PO_4 + 13 H_2O \] ### Step 4: Calculate the Molar Mass of \( H_3PO_4 \) The molar mass of \( H_3PO_4 \) is calculated as follows: - Hydrogen (H): 1 g/mol × 3 = 3 g/mol - Phosphorus (P): 31 g/mol × 1 = 31 g/mol - Oxygen (O): 16 g/mol × 4 = 64 g/mol Total molar mass of \( H_3PO_4 \): \[ 3 + 31 + 64 = 98 \, \text{g/mol} \] ### Step 5: Calculate the Equivalent Weight The equivalent weight is calculated using the formula: \[ \text{Equivalent Weight} = \frac{\text{Molar Mass}}{\text{Change in Oxidation State}} \] For \( H_3PO_4 \): - Molar Mass = 98 g/mol - Change in Oxidation State = 8 (from -3 to +5) Thus, the equivalent weight of \( H_3PO_4 \) is: \[ \text{Equivalent Weight} = \frac{98}{8} = 12.25 \, \text{g/equiv} \] ### Final Answer The equivalent weight of \( H_3PO_4 \) is **12.25 g/equiv**. ---
