Question

P4010

+ 4P + 5 O2
How many moles of phosphorus would be
produced if 8.19 mol of P4010 reacted? Enter
your answer with 2 decimal places.

Answer 1

32.76mole of P

Step-by-step explanation:

The reaction expression is given as;

P₄O₁₀ → 4P + 5O₂

Given parameters:

Number of moles of P₄O₁₀ = 8.19mol

Unknown:

Number of moles of P produced = ?

Solution:

From the balanced reaction expression;

1 mole of P₄O₁₀ will produce 4 mole of P

8.19mole of P₄O₁₀ will therefore produce 4 x 8.19 = 32.76mole of P
