Strategy:
 Identify the limiting reagent using the balanced precipitation equation between Barium Chloride and Sodium Phosphate. The maximum yield of Barium Phosphate is determined by the stoichiometric ratio of the limiting species.

Step 1: Write the balanced chemical equation

From the equation, 3 moles of  react with 2 moles of  to produce 1 mole of .

Step 2: Identify the Limiting Reagent
- Available .
- According to the balanced equation,  of  requires exactly  of .
- Since we have  of  (a
