Answer:
The law is given by the following equation: PV = nRT, where P = pressure, V = volume, n = number of moles, R is the universal gas constant, which equals 0.0821 L-atm / mole-K, and T is the temperature in Kelvin.
Explanation:
1kg is about 2.2 pounds. So 4kg = 8.8 pounds. If that represent 19% of the total, here is the answer.
0.19*x=8.8
x=8.8/0.19
x=46.31 pounds
We can solve the equation and show the solution below:
Oxygen atomic number is 16.
Phosphorus atomic number is 32.
We have the molecular weight:
Molecular weight = (31*4) + (16*10)
Molecular weight = 284 grams/mol
Solving for the grams:
0.4 mole (for P4) * (1 mol P4O10/1 mol P4) * (284 grams P4O10/1 mole P4O10)
Total grams = 113.6
The answer is 113.6 grams.
