Zinc nitrate reacts with potassium phosphate to form the insoluble compound, zinc phosphate. The reaction proceeds according to the balanced equation below: 3Zn(NO3)2 (aq) + 2K3PO4(aq) --> Zn3(PO4)2(s) + 6KNO3(aq) A target mass of 15.412 g is desired as the yield of zinc phosphate. Calculate the moles of zinc nitrate required to meet the target mass of zinc phosphate. The molar mass of zinc phosphate is 386.11 g/mol.
