Answer : The correct answer for mole ratio of H₂O : H₃PO₄ = 6: 4 .
Mole ratio :
It is defined as mole of one substance to another substance in a balanced reaction . In the balanced reaction , the coefficient written before the substances are taken as moles of that substance.
The given balanced reaction between P₄H₁₀ and H₂O is :
P₄O₁₀ + 6 H₂O → 4 H₃PO₄
Mole of H₂O = 6
Mole of H₃PO₄ = 4
Hence mole ratio of Water : H₃PO₄ = 6 : 4
