We can solve the equation and show the solution below:

Oxygen atomic number is 16.
Phosphorus atomic number is 32.

We have the molecular weight:
Molecular weight = (31*4) + (16*10)
Molecular weight = 284 grams/mol

Solving for the grams:

0.4 mole (for P4) * (1 mol P4O10/1 mol P4) * (284 grams P4O10/1 mole P4O10)
Total grams = 113.6

The answer is 113.6 grams.
