Question

Calcium phosphate reacts with hydrochloride acid to produce calcium chloride and phosphoric acid. This is the balanced chemical equation for this reaction.

6HCl + Ca3(PO4)2 -> 3CACl2 + 2H3PO4.
What mass of phosphoric acid can be produced from 103 grams of calcium phosphate?

Answer: 103 grams of calcium phosphate can produce_____ moles and _____grams of phosphoric acid.

Answer 1

Answer: 0.664 moles and 65.1 grams EDMENTUM USERS

Explanation: From the equation, we know that 1 mole of calcium phosphate produces 2 moles of phosphoric acid (H3PO4). So, if we know how many moles of calcium phosphate are present in 103 grams of Ca3(PO4)2, we can find the corresponding number of moles of H3PO4 that are produced during the reaction.
