The products of the unbalanced reaction are as follows:

Ba(OH)₂ (aq) + H₃PO₄(aq) → Ba₃(PO₄)₂(s) + H₂O(l)

This is an acid base reaction where Ba(OH)₂ is the base and H₃PO₄ is the acid. Acid base reaction is also known as neutralization reaction where the acid and base react with each other to form salt and water. In this reaction Ba₃(PO₄)₂ is the salt. Also barium phosphate (Ba₃(PO₄)₂) is insoluble in water and forms a solid precipitate.

The balanced reaction is as follows:

3Ba(OH)₂ (aq) + 2H₃PO₄(aq) → Ba₃(PO₄)₂(s) + 6H₂O(l)

There are three Ba from Ba₃(PO₄)₂ on the product side of the equation, so to balance 3 coefficient was placed before Ba(OH)₂. Similarly, 2 coefficient was placed before H₃PO₄ on the reactant side to balance the two phosphate from Ba₃(PO₄)₂ on the product side. Finally, 6 coefficient was placed before H₂O on the product side, to balance the number of H and O atoms on both side of the equation.

The amount ofcalcium present in milk can be determined by adding oxalate to asample and measuring the massof calcium oxalate pre

Sauron [17]

<u>Answer:</u> The mass percent of calcium in milk is 0.107 %

<u>Explanation:</u>

To calculate the number of moles, we use the equation:

$\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text{Molar mass}}$ .....(1)

Given mass of calcium oxalate = 0.429 g

Molar mass of calcium oxalate = 128.1 g/mol

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$\text{Moles of calcium oxalate}=\frac{0.429g}{128.1g/mol}=0.0033mol$

The given chemical equation follows:

$Na_2C_2O_4(aq.)+Ca^{2+}(aq.)\rightarrow CaC_2O_4(s)+2Na^+(aq.)$

Sodium oxalate is present in excess. So, it is considered as an excess reagent. And, calcium ion is a limiting reagent because it limits the formation of product.

By Stoichiometry of the reaction:

1 mole of calcium oxalate is produced from 1 mole of calcium ion

So, 0.0033 moles of calcium oxalate is produced from = $\frac{1}{1}\times 0.0033=0.0033mol$ of calcium ions

Now, calculating the mass of calcium ions by using equation 1, we get:

Moles of calcium ions = 0.0033 moles

Molar mass of calcium ions = 40 g/mol

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$0.0033mol=\frac{\text{Mass of calcium ions}}{40g/mol}\\\\\text{Mass of calcium ions}=(0.0033mol\times 40g/mol)=0.132g$

To calculate the mass percentage of calcium ions in milk, we use the equation:

$\text{Mass percent of calcium ions}=\frac{\text{Mass of calcium ions}}{\text{Mass of milk}}\times 100$

Mass of milk = 125 g

Mass of calcium ions = 0.132 g

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$\text{Mass percent of calcium ions}=\frac{0.132g}{125g}\times 100=0.107\%$

Hence, the mass percent of calcium in milk is 0.107 %
