3Ca(OH)2 + 2Na3PO4 ==> Ca3(PO4)2 + 6NaOH ... balanced equation

First, find the limiting reactant:

moles Ca(OH)2 present = 100 g x 1 mole/74.09 g = 1.35 moles (divided by 3-->0.45)

moles Na3PO4 present = 100 g x 1 mole/163.9 g = 0.610 moles (divided by 2-->0.31)

LIMITING reactant is Na3PO4

There will be zero grams Na3PO4 left after the reaction

For grams Ca(OH)2 left: 0.610 mol NaP x 3 mol Ca(OH)2/2 mol NaP = 0.915 mol Ca(OH)3 used up

Grams left over: 1.35 mol - 0.915 mol = 0.435 mol x 74.09 g/mol = 32 g left over (30 g if use 1 sig. fig.)

For grams of calcium phosphate left: 0.610 mol NaP x 1 mol CaP/2 mol NaP = 0.305 mol CaP formed

Grams at end of rx: 0.305 moles CaP x 310 g/mol = 94 g (90 g if use 1 sig. fig.)

For grams NaOH left: 0.610 mol NaP x 6 mol NaOH/2 mol NaP = 1.83 moles NaOH formed

Grams at end of rx: 1.83 moles NaOH x 40 g/mol = 73 g (70 g if use 1 sig. fig.)

a rain shadow is a dry region of land on the side that is protected against the prevailing winds of a mountain range. the prevailing winds are the winds that occur most of the time in a particular place of the earth

prevailing winds carry air toward the mountain range. as the air rises up over a mountain range, the air cools, water vapor condenses, and clouds form. on this side of the mountains, called the windward side, precipitation falls in the form of  rain  or snow. this dry air produces a  rain shadow.
