Detailed Solution

The total of the atomic masses of all atoms in a molecule is the molecule's molecular mass. As a result, if we know the molecular formula, which can be supplied and computed, we can determine the molecular mass.

Sodium phosphate's chemical formula is Na3(PO4).

One mole of sodium phosphate has three sodium (Na) atoms, one phosphorus (P) atom, and four oxygen (O) atoms.

Calcium's molar mass is now = 23.0 g/mol

Phosphorus molar mass = 31.0 g/mol

Oxygen atom molar mass= 16.0 g/mol

As a result, the molar mass of Na3(PO4)is calculated as-

   Molar mass of Na3(PO4)  = (3×23.0 g/mol) + 31.0 g/mol + (4×16.0 g/mol) = 164.0 g/mol

Hence, option A is correct.
