Answer: The number of moles of sodium phosphate required is 0.33 moles

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given:

Moles of silver nitrate = 1 mole

The chemical equation for the reaction of sodium phosphate and silver nitrate follows:

$Na_3PO_4+3AgNO_3\rightarrow 3NaNO_3+Ag_3PO_4$

By Stoichiometry of the reaction:

3 moles of silver nitrate reacts with 1 mole of sodium phosphate.

So, 1.0 moles of silver nitrate will react with =
(1)/(3)* 1.0=0.33mol of sodium phosphate.

Hence, the number of moles of sodium phosphate required is 0.33 moles
