Give typed full explanation 

A stock solution of lithium phosphate (Li3PO4MM= 115.794361 g/mol) is prepared by dissolving 295.8 g Li3PO4 in deionized water to a final total volume of 1.000 L. Suppose a 1.000-mL aliquot is taken from this stock solution and transferred to a new container to which deionized water is added until the total volume is 50.00 mL. A new 1.000-mL aliquot is taken from this 50.00 mL solution and transferred to a third container to which deionized water is added until the total volume is 25.00 mL. Calculate the number of individual lithium ions (Li+) in the final 25.00-mL solution.

 

Note that lithium phosphate is a strong electrolyte that completely dissociates in water (note that (aq) means the species is a solute in an aqueous solution):

 

Li3PO4 (aq) 3 Li+ (aq) + PO43– (aq)

 

Report your answer to two significant figures. Use scientific notation. Example: 1.0*10^23 (this notation means 1.0 1023)
