Question

$0.5 \text{ mol } BaCl_2$ is mixed with $0.2 \text{ mol } Na_3PO_4$. The maximum number of moles of $Ba_3(PO_4)_2$ that can be formed is:

Answer: A

💡 Solution & Explanation

$3BaCl_2 + 2Na_3PO_4 \rightarrow Ba_3(PO_4)_2 + 6NaCl$. <br>$\text{Ratio } BaCl_2 : Na_3PO_4 = 3:2$. <br>Required $BaCl_2$ for $0.2 \text{ mol } Na_3PO_4 = (3/2) \times 0.2 = 0.3$. <br>We have 0.5, so $Na_3PO_4$ is limiting. <br>$\text{Moles } Ba_3(PO_4)_2 = 0.2 / 2 = 0.1 \text{ mol}$.
