Answer to Question #161466 in General Chemistry for Kaia s

Question

If 16 moles of Ba3(PO4)2 are produced, how many moles of Ba(OH)2 are required for the reaction

Answer 1

The stoichiometric equation of reaction is:

3Ba(OH)2 + 2H3PO4 ------> Ba3(PO4)2 + 6H2O

From the balanced equation,

1mol of Ba3(PO4)2 required 3 moles of Ba(OH)2

16moles of Ba3(PO4)2 will require 16 x 3 moles

= 48 moles of Ba(OH)2
