Calculate the amount of calcium oxide required when it reacts with `852 g` of `P_(4) O_(10)`.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
`(1008 g)`

The balanced reaction is
`6CaO +P_(4)O_(10) rarr 2Ca_(3)(PO_(4))_(2)`
Moles of `P_(4)O_(10) = (852)/(284) = 3`
Moles of `CaO` required `= 3xx6 = 18`
Mass of `CaO` required `= 18 xx 56 = 1008 g`
