Answer:

6.79 g of phosphine can be produced

Explanation:

The reaction is this:

3H₂ + 2P → 2PH₃

We have the mass of the two reactants, so let's find out the limiting reactant, so we can work with the equation. Firstly, we convert the mass to moles (mass / molar mass)

6.2 g / 30.97 g/mol = 0.200 moles of P

4g / 2 g/mol = 2 moles of H₂

Ratio is 3:2.

3 moles of hydrogen react with 2 moles of P

Then, 2 moles of H₂ would react with (2 . 2)/ 3 = 1.3 moles of P.

We have only 0.2 moles of P, so clearly the phosphorous is the limiting reactant.

Ratio is 2:2. So 2 moles of P can produce 2 moles of phosphine. Therefore, 0.2 moles of P must produce the same amount of phosphine.

Let's convert the moles to mass ( mol . molar mass)

0.2 mol . 33.97 g/mol = 6.79 g

How do you figure out the final temperature or the initial temperature in calorimetry.
Zolol [24]
Add the change in temperature to your substance's original temperature to find its final heat. For example, if your water was initially at 24 degrees Celsius, its final temperature would be: 24 + 6, or 30 degrees Celsius.
