« on: September 15, 2005, 10:59:24 AM »
hello guys!

i am stucked at this one. i hope you can help me out.

the question:

deremine the osmolarity of 5* 10^-3 M Na3Po4

we say that:
osmolarity =

3*5*10^-3 + 4*5*10^-3
OR
3*5*10^-3 +1*5*10^-3 + 4*5*10^-3

thank you

Let's see, Are you saying that Sodium Phosphate when dissolved in water will break up into Sodium, Phosphorous and Oxygen?

What do you think about it dissociating into sodium and phosphate ions?
