White phosphorus, P 4 , is prepared by fusing calcium phosphate, Ca 3 (PO 4 ) 2

Question:

White phosphorus, P4, is prepared by fusing calcium phosphate, Ca3(PO4)2, with carbon, C, and sand, SiO2, in an electric furnace.

2Ca3(PO4)2(s) + 6SiO2(s) + 10C(s) → P4(g) + 6CaSiO3(l) + 10CO(g)

How many grams of calcium phosphate are required to give 30.0 g of phosphorus?
