How many moles of CO2can be formed from 0.045 moles of H3PO4
To find the number of moles of CO2 that can be formed from 0.045 moles of H3PO4, we need to use the balanced chemical equation of the reaction between H3PO4 and CO2.
The balanced equation for the reaction is:
2 H3PO4 + 3 CaCO3 -> 3 CO2 + 3 H2O + Ca3(PO4)2
From the balanced equation, we can see that 2 moles of H3PO4 react to form 3 moles of CO2.
So, if we have 0.045 moles of H3PO4, we can calculate the number of moles of CO2 formed as follows:
0.045 moles H3PO4 x (3 moles CO2 / 2 moles H3PO4) = 0.0675 moles CO2
Therefore, 0.045 moles of H3PO4 can form 0.0675 moles of CO2.
