4 ions are formed when ammonium phosphate [(nh4)3po4] is dissolved in water,
Ammonium Phosphate:
Ammonium phosphate is a highly unstable inorganic compound. It can be synthesized by reacting phosphoric acid with ammonia solution. It is a white color solid soluble in water.
Ammonium phosphate is easily soluble in water. It dissociates to form ammonium and phosphate ions in an aqueous solution. The dissociation is given below.
⇒ (NH₄)₃ PO₄ (s) ⇄ 3NH₄⁺ (aq) + PO₄³⁻ (aq)
One mole of ammonium phosphate dissolves to form 3 ammonium and one phosphate ion.
Hence total of 4 ions is formed when ammonium phosphate dissolves in water.
