Journal Entry:
 This reaction produces the main substance found in human bones (calcium phosphate): 3CaCl₂(aq) + 2Na₃PO₄(aq) --> Ca₃(PO₄)₂(s) + 6NaCl(aq)

1. How many moles of calcium phosphate can you make using 6 moles of calcium chloride?

2. How many moles of calcium phosphate can you make using 111gram of CaCl₂?

Learning Intentions

• We will learn how to complete stoichiometric calculations for a variety of chemical reactions.

Closing Task:

You can calculate the grams of one substance to produce a certain  amount of another substance.

Content Standards being covered:

Student understands what the letters and numbers stand for in a compound formula, can use those letter and numbers to determine how many of each type of element there are in a formula.

Student can create mathematical representations of chemical reactions and use them to make calculations about products and reactants.

Students can use mathematical representations to support the claim that atoms, and therefore mass, are conserved during a chemical reaction. (HS-PS1-7 and CCC Energy and Matter)
