Answer:
Theoretical moles of V are 1.6 moles
Explanation:
The theoretical yield of a reaction is defined as the amount of product you would make if all of the limiting reactant was converted into product.
In the reaction:
V2O5(s) + 5Ca(i) → 2V(i) + 5CaO(s)
Based on the reaction, 1 mol of V2O5 needs 5 moles of Ca for a complete reaction. As there are just 4 moles, limiting reactant is Ca. As there are produced 2 moles of V per 5mol of Ca, Theoretical moles of V are:
4 moles of Ca × (2mol V / 5Ca) = 1.6 moles of V
