When BaCl₂ reacts with Na₃PO₄, the products formed are Ba₃(PO₄)₂ and NaCl. How many moles of Ba₃PO₄ are formed for each mole of BaCl₂ that is consumed?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The balanced chemical equation is 3BaCl2 + 2Na3PO4 → Ba3(PO4)2 + 6NaCl. For every 3 moles of BaCl2, 1 mole of Ba3(PO4)2 is formed, so for each mole of BaCl2, 1/3 or 0.3333 moles of Ba3(PO4)2 are formed.

When BaCl2 Reacts with Na3PO4, the Products Formed Are Ba3(PO4)2

When BaCl₂ Reacts with Na₃PO₄, the Products Formed Are Ba₃(PO₄)₂
