Q. If 0.5 mole of $BaCl_{2}$ is mixed with 0.2 mole of $Na_{3}PO_{4}$, the maximum number of moles f $Ba_{3}\left( PO_{4} \right)_{2}$ that can be formed is

A) 0.7
B) 0.5
C) 0.03
D) 0.10
Explanation

(d)
$\begin{matrix}
3BaCl_{2} \\
3\ mol
\end{matrix} + \begin{matrix}
2Na_{3}PO_{4} \\
2\ mol
\end{matrix} \longrightarrow \begin{matrix}
Ba_{3}\left( PO_{4} \right)_{2} \\
1\ mol
\end{matrix} + 6NaCl$
Here, $Na_{3}PO_{4}$ is the limiting reactant.
2 moles of $Na_{3}PO_{4}$ gives 1 mole of $Ba_{3}\left( PO_{4} \right)_{2}$
So, 0.2 mole of $Na_{3}PO_{4}$ will give 0.1 mole of$Ba_{3}\left( PO_{4} \right)_{2}$.
