Solution

The correct option is A 0.06
The given balanced equation is,
Ca5(PO4)3F+18SiO2+30C3P4+2CaF2+18CaSiO3+30CO
If 0.10 moles Ca5(PO4)3F, 0.36 moles SiO2, and 0.90 moles 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 318×0.36 mol of P4=0.06 mol of P4
