Step-by-step explanation:

We first need to determine the limiting reactant. This will tell us how much of the product (in this case, the Na3PO4 solution) we can produce. To do this, we need to know the balanced chemical equation. For this problem, it is: CuCl2 + Na3PO4 → Cu3(PO4)2 + 2NaCl. Once we know the balanced equation, we can use the molar ratios to determine the limiting reactant. For CuCl2, we have a molar ratio of 1 mol CuCl2 / 1 mol Cu3(PO4)
