Calcium phosphate
C a 3 ( P O 4 ) 2
So,Its Molecular mass
= 4 0 × 3 + ( 3 1 + 1 6 × 4 ) × 2 = 3 1 0
Molecular mass of P 2 O 5
= ( 3 1 × 2 + 1 6 × 5 ) = 1 4 2
Now,
C a 3 ( P O 4 ) 2 ⟶ 3 C a O + P 2 O 5
Now In 1 molecule of Calcium phosphate there is only one molecule of Phosphorus pentoxide( P 2 O 5 )
in 3 1 0 molecular mass of Calcium phosphate the amount of P 2 O 5 is 1 4 2
So, in 100 molecular mass of Calcium phosphate the amount of P 2 O 5 is
3 1 0 1 4 2 × 1 0 0 = 4 5 . 8 0 6 4 5 1 6 1 2 9 %
