When calcium phosphate is heated with a mixture of sand and carbon, yellow phosphorus is produced according to the following equation: 2 Caz(PO4)2 (s) + 6 SiO2 (s) + 10 C (s) → 6 CaSiO3 (s) + 10 CO (g) + P4 (s) If 70.43 g of calcium phosphate is heated with 19.11 g of carbon and an excess of sand, how many grams of yellow phosphorus (P4) can be produced?
