The correct Answer is:
To find the molecular weights of the compounds given their equivalent weights, we will use the relationship between equivalent weight (E) and molecular weight (M), which is given by the formula: \[ E = \frac{M}{n} \] Where \( n \) is the number of equivalents (or the n-factor) for the compound. We will calculate the n-factor for each compound and then use it to find the molecular weight. ### Step-by-Step Solution: #### (a) For \( \text{Na}_2\text{SO}_4 \): 1. **Determine the n-factor**: - Sodium (\( \text{Na} \)) has a +1 charge, and there are 2 sodium ions, contributing +2. - Sulfate (\( \text{SO}_4^{2-} \)) has a -2 charge. - The total charge is +2 from sodium and -2 from sulfate, so the n-factor is 2. 2. **Use the formula to find molecular weight**: \[ E = \frac{M}{n} \implies E = \frac{M}{2} \implies M = 2E \] - Given \( E = X \), we have: \[ M = 2X \] #### (b) For \( \text{Na}_3\text{PO}_4 \cdot 12\text{H}_2\text{O} \): 1. **Determine the n-factor**: - Sodium (\( \text{Na} \)) has a +1 charge, and there are 3 sodium ions, contributing +3. - Phosphate (\( \text{PO}_4^{3-} \)) has a -3 charge. - The total charge is +3 from sodium and -3 from phosphate, so the n-factor is 3. 2. **Use the formula to find molecular weight**: \[ E = \frac{M}{n} \implies E = \frac{M}{3} \implies M = 3E \] - Given \( E = Y \), we have: \[ M = 3Y \] #### (c) For \( \text{Ca}_3(\text{PO}_4)_2 \): 1. **Determine the n-factor**: - Calcium (\( \text{Ca} \)) has a +2 charge, and there are 3 calcium ions, contributing +6. - Phosphate (\( \text{PO}_4^{3-} \)) has a -3 charge, and there are 2 phosphate ions, contributing -6. - The total charge is +6 from calcium and -6 from phosphate, so the n-factor is 6. 2. **Use the formula to find molecular weight**: \[ E = \frac{M}{n} \implies E = \frac{M}{6} \implies M = 6E \] - Given \( E = Z \), we have: \[ M = 6Z \] ### Summary of Molecular Weights: - For \( \text{Na}_2\text{SO}_4 \): \( M = 2X \) - For \( \text{Na}_3\text{PO}_4 \cdot 12\text{H}_2\text{O} \): \( M = 3Y \) - For \( \text{Ca}_3(\text{PO}_4)_2 \): \( M = 6Z \) ### Final Answer: The correct set of molecular weights will be \( 2X, 3Y, 6Z \).
