Solution
The correct option is D0.10 The balanced reaction is 3BaCl2+2Na3PO4→Ba3(PO4)2+6NaCl
In this reaction, 3 moles of BaCl2 combines with 2 moles of Na3PO4.
Hence 0.5 mole of BaCl2 recquire =23×0.5=0.33 moles of Na3PO4.
Since, available Na3PO4(0.2 mole) is less than required mole (0.33), it is the limiting reactant and would determine the amount of product Ba3(PO4)2. ∴2 moles of Na3PO4 gives 1 mole of Ba3(PO4)2. ∴0.2 mole of Na3PO4 would give =12×0.2=0.1 mole Ba3(PO4)2
