Final answer:

To answer this question, the molar mass of P and O2 would help to calculate their moles. However, without the balanced chemical equations and reaction conditions, the actual masses of P4O6 and P4O10 cannot be determined.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the masses of P4O6 and P4O10 formed in the reaction, we first need to determine the molar mass of P and O2. Then, using stoichiometry, we can calculate the moles of P and O2 based on the given masses and the balanced chemical equations for the synthesis of P4O6 and P4O10. However, without the balanced chemical equations and reaction conditions, we can't proceed to calculate the exact masses of the phosphorus oxides formed.
