Answer:

Mass = 87.952 g

Explanation:

Given data:

Mass of phosphorus = 20.0 g

Theoretical yield of P₂O₃ = ?

Solution:

Chemical equation:

P₄ + 3O₂  →  2P₂O₃

Number of moles of phosphorus:

Number of moles = mass/ molar mass

Number of moles = 20.0 g / 123.9 g/mol

Number of moles = 0.2 mol

Now we will compare the moles of phosphorus with P₂O₃.

                         P₄         :          P₂O₃

                          1           :           2

                         0.2        :         2/1×0.2 = 0.4 mol

Theoretical yield:

Mass = number of moles × molar mass

Mass = 0.4 mol  × 219.88 g/mol

Mass = 87.952 g

How many capsules containing 75mg of Tamiflu could be produced from 155g of star anise.?
jeyben [28]
From the question you will find that:
one capsule of tamiflu is obtained from 2.6 g of star anise.
1 capsule   = 2.6 g tamiflu
? capsules = 155 g tamiflu
by cross multiplication = \frac{(1 x 155)}{2.6} = 59 capsules
