Answer:

The answer to your question is 42.9 g of Ca

Step-by-step explanation:

Data

mass of Ca = ?

mass of N₂ = 10 g

Balanced chemical reaction

3Ca + N₂ ⇒ Ca₃N₂

Process

1.- Calculate the molar mass of the reactants.

Ca = 3(40) = 120 g

N₂ = 2(14) = 28 g

2.- Calculate the mass of Calcium using proportions and the molar mass of the reactants.

120 g of Ca ---------------- 28 g of N₂

x ---------------- 10 g of N₂

x = (10 x 120) / 28

x = 1200 / 28

x = 42.9 g of Ca
