Properties and Behavior of Na3PO4

The video explores whether sodium phosphate (Na3PO4) is an electrolyte. It defines an electrolyte as a substance that dissolves in water to produce ions, which conduct electricity. Sodium phosphate is identified as an ionic compound, consisting of sodium (a metal) and phosphate (a group of non-metals). When dissolved in water, it dissociates into sodium ions (Na+) and phosphate ions (PO4^3-), making it a strong electrolyte capable of conducting electricity effectively.

What is the main question addressed in the video?

• The solubility of Na3PO4 in non-polar solvents
