Answer 1

The mass of calcium phosphate the reaction can produce is 6.076 grams.

What is mass?

Mass is a numerical measure of inertia, which is a basic feature of all matter. It is, in effect, a body of matter's resistance to a change in speed or position caused by the application of a force.

In the International System of Units (SI), the kilogram is the unit of mass.

Given;

Mass of calcium nitrate (Ca(NO₃)₂) = 96.1 g

Mass of calcium phosphate=?

The chemical equation is found as;

3Ca(NO₃)₂ + 2Na₃PO₄ → 6NaNO₃ + Ca₃(PO4)₂

3 moles of Ca(NO₃)₂ produces 1 mole of Ca₃(PO4)molar mass of calcium phosphate is 164 g/mol

Moles are found as the ratio of the mass of the compound and its molar mass. Moles of Ca(NO₃)₂ is n.

n = 96.1/164 = 0.5859 moles

Moles of Ca3(PO4)2 produced ;

N=0.0589 ×(1/3) = 0.0196 moles

The molar mass of calcium phosphate is 310 g/mol and the mass of calcium phosphate produced will be;

M=0.0196×310

M = 6.076 g

Hence,the mass of calcium phosphate the reaction can produce is 6.076 grams.
