Question
0.1 gram of solid aluminum phosphate (Al(PO4) (s) is added to 500 L of pure water. Immediately the
solid begins to dissolve according to the reactions below.
Complete dissolution:
Solid present:
Al(PO4) (S) → A1+³ + PO4³
Al(PO4) (s) → A1+³ + PO4³
No K
KSP = 10-12
What is the concentration of dissolved phosphate (in M and mg/L) in the water once all reactions
proceed to completion? Is the solid still present or has it completely dissolved? Why or why not? If
the solid is present, calculate the solid concentration (in M and mg/L).
Develop a plot showing the aqueous (dissolved) concentration of PO4³ (in M) on the Y-axis versus
different Al(PO4)-(s) additions (in M) on the X-axis. Include the critical point that separates whether the
solid is completely dissolved or is still present and label your plot appropriately.
