Question

The commercial production of phosphoric acid, H₃PO₄, can be represented by the equation

1540 g	282 g	317 g	1090 g	282 g
Ca3(PO4)2 +	3SiO2 +	5C +	5O2 +	3H2O	→ 3CaSiO3 + 5CO2 + 2H3PO4
310 g/mol	60.1 g/mol	12.0 g/mol	32.0 g/mol	18.0 g/mol

The molar mass for each reactant is shown below the reactant, and the mass of each reactant for this problem is given above. Which substance is the limiting reactant?
