Capture all of the smoke and weight it. it will weigh exactly the same before and after you burn it but will just be CO2 and H2O gas.

Molar mass:
Ca(OH)₂ = 74.093 g/mol
Ca₃(PO₄)₂ = 310.17 g/mol
Mole ratio:
<span>2 Na</span>₃<span>PO</span>₄<span> + 3 Ca(OH)</span>₂<span> = Ca</span>₃<span>(PO</span>₄<span>)</span>₂<span> + 6 NaOH
</span>
3 x 74.093 g Ca(OH)₂ ----------- 310.17 g Ca₃(PO₄)₂
?? g Ca(OH)₂ ----------- 3.09 g Ca₃(PO₄)₂
Mass of Ca(OH)₂ = 3.09 x 3 x 74.093 / 310.17
Mas of Ca(OH)₂ = 686.84211 / 310.17
= 2.214 g of Ca(OH)₂
hope this helps!
