Question

Type the correct answer in the box. Express your answer to three significant figures. Calcium nitrate reacts with sodium phosphate to form sodium nitrate and calcium phosphate. Given 96. 1 grams of calcium nitrate, what’s the theoretical yield of calcium phosphate? Use the periodic table and the polyatomic ion resource. The mass of calcium phosphate the reaction can produce is grams.

Answer 1

6.07 grams is the theoretical yield of calcium phosphate (Ca₃(PO₄)₂).

How we calculate mass from moles?

Mass of any substance can be calculated by using moles as:

n = W/M, where

W = required mass

M= molar mass

Given chemical reaction is:

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

From the stoichiometry it is clear that:

3 moles of Ca(NO₃)₂ = produce 1 mole of Ca₃(PO₄)₂

Given mass of Ca(NO₃)₂ = 96.1g

Mole of Ca(NO₃)₂ = 96.1g/164g/mol = 0.5859moles

So, 0.5859 moles of Ca(NO₃)₂ = produce 0.5859×1/3 = 0.0196 moles of Ca₃(PO₄)₂

Required mass of Ca₃(PO₄)₂ will be calculated by using moles as:

W = 0.0196mole × 310g/mole = 6.07 grams

Hence, 6.07 grams is the theoretical yield of calcium phosphate.
