Question

76.0 mol of P4O10 contains how many moles of P?

Answer 1

For a mole of P4O10, there are 4 moles of P. Hence for 76 moles of P4O10, the number of P moles is a total of 304. 

Answer 2

Answer : The number of moles of phosphorous are 304 moles.

Explanation :

The formula of given compound is, $P_4O_{10}$

In $P_4O_{10}$ compound, there 4 moles of phosphorus and 10 moles of oxygen.

As we are given that the moles of $P_4O_{10}$ is 76.0 mole. Now we have to determine the number of moles of phosphorous (P).

As, 1 mole of $P_4O_{10}$ has 4 moles of phosphorous

So, 76.0 mole of $P_4O_{10}$ has $4\times 76.0=304moles$ of phosphorous

Therefore, the number of moles of phosphorous are 304 moles.
