Excess of calcium orthophosphate is reacted with magnesium to form calcium phosphide with magnesium oxide. Calcium phosphide on reacting with an excess of water liberate phosphine gas () along with calcium hydroxide. The evolved phosphine was burnt in the air (excess of oxygen ) to yield phosphorus pentoxide along with water. How many grams of magnesium metaphosphate would be obtained, if of magnesium were used for reducing calcium phosphate:
( Atomic wt. of )
Magnesium metaphosphate
