Chapter 2, Problem 30P

Elemental phosphorus can be prepared from calciumphosphate via the overall reaction

${\text{2Ca}}_{\text{3}}{\left({\text{PO}}_{\text{4}}\right)}_{\text{2}}+{\text{6SiO}}_{\text{2}}+\text{1}0\text{C}\to {\text{6CaSiO}}_{\text{3}}+{\text{P}}_{\text{4}}+\text{1}0\text{CO}$

Calculate the minimum mass of ${\text{Ca}}_{\text{3}}{\left({\text{PO}}_{\text{4}}\right)}_{\text{2}}$ required toproduce $\text{69}.{\text{8 g P}}_{\text{4}}$ . What mass of ${\text{CaSiO}}_{\text{3}}$ is generated as aby-product?
