How many grams of CaOCaO is required to neutralize the 852 g of P4O10{P_4}{O_{10}}?

Explanation

Solution

To determine the amount of CaOCaO required firstly, we have to write the balanced chemical reaction for the above condition. Then, from that reaction we can find how many moles of CaOCaO is required to neutralize the P4O10{P_4}{O_{10}}. Here, we have to use the mole concept to answer this question.

Complete step-by-step solution: Let us write the balanced chemical equation for the above condition.
6  CaO  +  P4O10  →  2  Ca3(PO4)26\;CaO\; + \;{P_4}{O_{10}}\; \to \;2\;C{a_3}{\left( {P{O_4}} \right)_2}
Now, from the above reaction we can say that 6 moles of CaOCaO will neutralize the 1 mole of P4O10{P_4}{O_{10}}. From this we can now find the grams of CaOCaO required to neutralize the 852 g of P4O10{P_4}{O_{10}} .
According to the mole concept; One mole of any substance is equal to the molar mass of that substance. So now we know the molar masses of the CaOCaOand P4O10{P_4}{O_{10}}. Then from that relation we can find the grams of CaOCaO.
Here, Molar mass of CaOCaO = 56.07 g  mol−g\;mo{l^ - } and Molar mass of P4O10{P_4}{O_{10}} = 283.88 g  mol−g\;mo{l^ - }.
Therefore, we can find; 1 mole of CaOCaO = 56.07 g  mol−g\;mo{l^ - }
6 moles of CaOCaO =?
Grams  of  CaO  in  6  moles  =6  mole×56.07  g  mol−1  moleGrams\;of\;CaO\;in\;6\;moles\; = \dfrac{{6\;mole \times 56.07\;g\;mo{l^ - }}}{{1\;mole}}
Grams of Cao in 6 moles = 336.42 g  mol−g\;mo{l^ - }
So, from above it is clear that 336.42 grams of Cao Neutralize the 283.88 grams of P4O10{P_4}{O_{10}}.
Hence, we can find the grams of CaOCaO required for 852 g of P4O10{P_4}{O_{10}}
i.e. Here, 336.42 g CaOCaO = 283.88 g P4O10{P_4}{O_{10}}
How many g CaOCaO ? = 852 g P4O10{P_4}{O_{10}}
Grams  of  Cao  required  =  336.42  g×852  g283.88  gGrams\;of\;Cao\;required\; = \;\dfrac{{336.42\;g \times 852\;g}}{{283.88\;g}}
Grams of Cao required = 1009 g.

Note: So, here we can say that the 1009 g of Cao is required to neutralize the 852 g of P4O10{P_4}{O_{10}}.This is calculated by using the mole concept and by taking the balanced chemical reaction. It is necessary to take balanced chemical reactions to solve these types of questions. Mole concept is saying that one mole of any substance is equal to the molar mass of that substance.
