If 0.50 mol of `BaCl_(2)` is mixed with 0.20 mol of `Na_(3)PO_(4)`, the maximum number of moles of `Ba_(3)(PO_(4))_(2)` that can be formed is

A

`0.70`

B

`0.50`

C

`0.20`

D

`0.10`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D

The balanced chemical reaction is
`3BaCl_(2) + 2Na_(3)PO_(4) rarr Ba_(3)(PO_(4))_(2) + 6NaCl`
IN this reaction, 3 moles of `BaCl_(2)` combines with 2 moles `Na_(3)PO_(4)`. Hence, `0.5` mole of `BaCl_(2)` require
`(2)/(3) xx 0.5 = 0.33` mole of `Na_(3)PO_(4)`.
Since, available `Na_(3)PO_(4) (0.2 "mole")` is less than required mole `(0.33)`, it is the limiting reactant and would determine the amount of products `Ba_(3)(PO_(4))_(2)`.
`because` 2 moles of `Na_(3)PO_(4)` gives 1 mole `Ba_(3)(PO_(4))_(2)`
`:. 0.2` moles of `Na_(3)PO_(4)` would give `(1)/(2) xx 0.2`
`= 0.1` mole `Ba_(3)(PO_(4))_(2)`
