I can easily work out the molar mass of Ca3PO4 - but I do not see any reason to do this.
There is no such compound
If you want the molar mass of tricalcium phosphate , then the correct formula is Ca3(PO4)2 .
For purposes of calculating the molar mass it is easier to write: Ca3P2O8
Ca = 40.078g/mol *3 = 120.234g
P = 30.974g/mol *2 = 61.948g
O = 15.999g/mol *8 = 127.992g
Total = 310.174g/mol
Mass of 4.5 mol = 310.174g/mol *4.5mol = 1395.783g

Answer:
Mass of reactant and mass of product must be equal.
Explanation:
Law of conservation of mass:
According to the law of conservation mass, mass can neither be created nor destroyed in a chemical equation.
Explanation:
This law was given by French chemist Antoine Lavoisier in 1789. According to this law mass of reactant and mass of product must be equal, because masses are not created or destroyed in a chemical reaction.
For example:
In given photosynthesis reaction:
6CO₂ + 6H₂O + energy → C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂
there are six carbon atoms, eighteen oxygen atoms and twelve hydrogen atoms on the both side of equation so this reaction followed the law of conservation of mass.
