Solution Steps

Step 1: Understand the Relationship Between Moles, Molarity, and Volume

Molarity (\(M\)) is defined as the number of moles of solute per liter of solution. The formula to find the volume of a solution when the moles and molarity are known is:

\[ M = \frac{\text{moles of solute}}{\text{volume of solution in liters}} \]

Rearranging this formula to solve for volume gives:

\[ \text{Volume of solution (L)} = \frac{\text{moles of solute}}{M} \]

Step 2: Substitute the Given Values into the Formula

We are given:

  • Moles of \(\text{K}_3\text{PO}_4 = 0.483\) mol
  • Molarity of the solution = 0.347 M

Substitute these values into the formula:

\[ \text{Volume of solution (L)} = \frac{0.483 \, \text{mol}}{0.347 \, \text{M}} \]

Step 3: Calculate the Volume

Perform the division to find the volume:

\[ \text{Volume of solution (L)} = \frac{0.483}{0.347} \approx 1.3911 \, \text{L} \]

Step 4: Apply Significant Figures

The number of significant figures in the answer should match the least number of significant figures in the given data. Here, both the moles and molarity are given to three significant figures. Therefore, the volume should also be reported to three significant figures.

Final Answer

\[ \boxed{1.39 \, \text{L}} \]
