**Example Problem: Calculating Mass of Precipitate in a Chemical Reaction**

**Question:**
What mass of precipitate (in grams) is formed when 45.5 mL of 0.300 M K₃PO₄ reacts with 36.0 mL of 0.200 M Cr(NO₃)₃ in the following chemical reaction?

\[ \text{K}_3\text{PO}_4(aq) + \text{Cr(NO}_3\text{)}_3(aq) \rightarrow \text{CrPO}_4(s) + 3 \text{KNO}_3(aq) \]

**Solution Steps:**

1. **Determine the moles of reactants:**
   - Calculate moles of \( \text{K}_3\text{PO}_4 \):
     \[
     \text{Moles of } \text{K}_3\text{PO}_4 = 0.300 \, \text{M} \times 0.0455 \, \text{L} = 0.01365 \, \text{moles}
     \]

   - Calculate moles of \( \text{Cr(NO}_3\text{)}_3 \):
     \[
     \text{Moles of } \text{Cr(NO}_3\text{)}_3 = 0.200 \, \text{M} \times 0.0360 \, \text{L} = 0.0072 \, \text{moles}
     \]

2. **Determine the limiting reactant:**
   - According to the balanced equation, 1 mole of \( \text{K}_3\text{PO}_4 \) reacts with 1 mole of \( \text{Cr(NO}_3\text{)}_3 \). 
   - \( \text{Cr(NO}_3\text{)}_3 \) is the limiting reactant because it has fewer moles (0.0072 moles).

3. **Calculate moles of precipitate, \( \text{CrPO}_4 \):**
   - Since \( \text{Cr(NO}_3\text{)}_3 \) is the limiting reactant, the moles of \( \text{CrPO}_4 \) formed will be equal to the moles of \( \text{Cr
