A mixture of 117.9 g of P and 121.8 g of O, reacts completely to form P4O6 and P4O10. Find the masses of P4O6 and P4O10
that are formed by the reaction.
What is the mass of P4O6?
mass of P4O10?

Respuesta :

Answer:

Mass of P4O6=103.4

            P4O10=133.48

Explanation:

Balanced reaction is:

8P +8[tex]O_{2}[/tex]  ⇒[tex]P_{4} O_{6}[/tex] +[tex]P_{4} O_{10}[/tex]

Both reactant completely vanishes as equivalent of bot are equal.

Moles of P=[tex]\frac{117.9}{31}[/tex] =3.80

Moles of [tex]O_{2}[/tex] =[tex]\frac{117.9}{31}[/tex] =3.80

No. of moles of formed product are equal and is [tex]\frac{1}{8}[/tex]th of mole of any of reactant.

Thus weight of  [tex]P_{4} O_{6}[/tex] =[tex]\frac{3.80}{8}[/tex]×220 ≈103.41

        weight of  [tex]P_{4} O_{10}[/tex] =[tex]\frac{3.80}{8}[/tex]×284 ≈133.48
