2 moles of sodium phosphate reacts with 3 moles of
calcium chloride
2Na3PO4 + 3 CaCl2 -> 6 NaCl + Ca2 (PO4)2
using the chemical equation above, how many moles
of NaCl can be produced if one of these is a limiting
reactant?

Respuesta :

Answer: 6 moles of NaCl are produced when 2 moles of sodium phosphate reacts with 3 moles of  calcium chloride

Explanation:

The balanced chemical equation is:

[tex]2Na_3PO_4+3CaCl_2\rightarrow 6NaCl+Ca_3(PO_4)_2[/tex]  

According to stoichiometry :

2 moles of [tex]Na_3PO_4[/tex] require 3 moles of [tex]CaCl_2[/tex]

Thus both are limiting reagent as both will limit the formation of product.

As 2 moles of [tex]Na_3PO_4[/tex] reacts with 3 moles of [tex]CaCl_2[/tex] give = 6 moles of [tex]NaCl[/tex]

Thus 6 moles of NaCl are produced when 2 moles of sodium phosphate reacts with 3 moles of  calcium chloride
