calculate the percentage of phosphorus in calcium phosphate step by step
Added by Heidi J.
Step 1
08 g/mol - Phosphorus (P) has a molar mass of 30.97 g/mol - Oxygen (O) has a molar mass of 16.00 g/mol Molar mass of Ca3(PO4)2 = 3(40.08) + 2(30.97) + 8(16.00) = 310.18 g/mol ** Show more…

Give the formula for calcium phosphate and then answer the following questions: a. Calculate the percent composition of each of the elements in this compound. b. If you knew that there was $50.0 \mathrm{g}$ of phosphorus in your sample, how many grams of calcium phosphate would you have? How many moles of calcium phosphate would this be? How many formula units of calcium phosphate?
Elemental phosphorus is made by heating calcium phosphate with carbon and sand in an electric furnace. What is the weight percent of phosphorus in calcium phosphate? Use this value to calculate the mass of calcium phosphate (in kilograms) that must be used to produce $15.0 \mathrm{kg}$ of phosphorus.
