Solution

The correct option is D 0.1
Balance equation,

3BaCl2+2Na3PO4Ba3(PO4)2+6NaCl

3 moles of BaCl2 reacts with 2 moles of Na3PO4.

Then 0.5 moles of BaCl2 reacts with 2×0.53=0.33 moles of Na3PO4.

But the amount of Na3PO4 present is less than 0.2 moles.

Hence, Na3PO4 is the limiting reagent and will decide the amount of product formed.
0.2 moles of Na3PO4 reacts with 0.3 moles of BaCl2 and produces 0.1 mole of Ba3(PO4)2

Hence, the correct option is D
