Phosphoric acid is prepared commercially from phosphate ore as follows:
$Ca_3(PO_4)_2 + 3SiO_2 + 5C + 5O_2 + 3H_2O \to 3CaSiO_3 + 5CO_2 + 2H_3PO_4$
If $1.0 \ kg$ each of calcium phosphate and silica are used with an excess of $C$,$O_2$,and $H_2O$,what is the maximum quantity of phosphoric acid that can be produced (in $kg$)? (Atomic masses: $Ca = 40, P = 31, Si = 28, O = 16, H = 1$)

  • A

  • B
    $0.63$
  • C
    $0.31$
  • D
