Question
4. Phosphorus pentachloride is the starting material for the production of certain polymers used to make
artificial arteries and other prosthetic devices. It is made from elemental phosphorus, which in turn is produced
from phosphate rock, Ca3(PO4)2. The equations are:
2 Ca3(PO4)2 (s) + 10 C (s) + 6 SiO₂ (s) → P4 (g) + 6 CaSiO3 (1) + 10 CO (g)
P4 (s) + 10 Cl₂ (g) → 4 PC15 (s)
What mass of chlorine (in kg) is required to react with the P4 produced from 1.20 kg of Ca3(PO4)2?
Molar masses (g/mol): Cl₂ 70.91
Ca3(PO4)2 310.18
