Detailed Solution

Weight of compound is 190 g.

Mass of water of crystallisation  is 108g

  weight of Na3PO4is190108=82g

1 mole of Na3PO4164g

So, 82g will be 0.5 moles of Na3PO4

for1moleNa3PO4,waterofCrystallizationis2×108g

Finally 1 mole hydrated Na3PO4  is heating

=Na3PO4+Water of crystallization

=164+216=380 g/mol
