A student carries out the precipitation reaction shown below, starting with 0.030 moles of calcium nitrate. The final mass of the precipitate is 2.9g.  3Na(NO3)2(aq) + 2Na3PO4(aq) = Ca3(PO4)2(s) + 6NaNO3(aq) How many moles of the precipitate would one expect to be produced from 0.030 moles of calcium nitrate? How many grams of solid is expected to be produced? What is the percent yield?
