    Na3PO4 is excess reactant, CaCl2 is limiting reactant.

    Explanation:

    3CaCl2 + 2Na3PO4 - --> Ca3 (PO4) 2 + 6NaCl

    from reaction : 3 mol 2 mol

    given: 6 mol 5 mol (X)

    X = (6*2) / 3 = 4 mol Na3PO4

    For 6 mol CaCl2 we need 4 mol Na3PO4, but we have 5 mol Na3PO4,

    Na3PO4 is excess reactant, so CaCl2 is limiting reactant.
