Question

Determine the number of atoms of each element in the following:4P4O10

Answer 1

16 P

40 O

Step-by-step explanation:

You have 4 moles of P4O10

Therefore you multiply the subscript of each atom of the compound by 4.

There are 4 phosphorus atoms in 1 mole of P4O10 so in 4 moles you would have 4*4 atoms so 16

There are 10 oxygen atoms in 1 mole of P4O10 so in 4 moles you would have 4*10 so 40
