Phosphorus can be prepared from calcium phosphate by the following reaction: 2Ca3(PO4)2(s) + 6SiO2(s) +10C(s) -> 6CaSiO3(s) + P4(s) + 10CO(g) Phosphorite is a mineral that contains Ca2(PO4)2 plus other non-phosphorus-containing compounds. What is the maximum amount of P4 that can be produced from 2.5 kg of phosphorite if the phosphorite sample is 75% Ca3(PO4)2 by mass? Assume an excess of the other reactants.
