a. A 1.500 g sample of a mixture of solid Na3PO4 - 12H2O and BaCl2 - 2H2O was dissolved in water and formed 0.520g of Ba3(PO4)2 precipitate. If reagent tests demonstrated that Na3PO4 - 12H2O was the limiting reactant in the precipitation reaction, calculate the mass percent of each reactant in the original sample. b. Clearly demonstrate which reactant salt would be limiting if the experiment was performed with equal masses of each salt. Assume 0.500g of each salt, for instance.
