Solution
The correct option is A0.06 The given balanced equation is, Ca5(PO4)3F+18SiO2+30C→3P4+2CaF2+18CaSiO3+30CO
If 0.10molesCa5(PO4)3F,0.36molesSiO2,and0.90moles C
reacts to produce P4, the limitting reagent here is SiO2.
From the stoichiometry of the balanced equation,
When 18 moles of SiO2 reacts with 3 moles of P4 are produced
So 0.36 moles SiO2 will give 318×0.36molofP4=0.06molofP4
