This is because oxygen (2.8.6) requires two electrons on its valence shell to attain stable configuration (2.8.8). Hydrogen (1) on the other hand requires one electron on its valence shell to attain stable configuration (2). Therefore in a covalent bond, it requires two hydrogen and one oxygen to share electrons and achieve stable configuration.
Answer:
No
Explanation:
One mole of P₄ react with six moles of I₂ and gives 4 moles of PI₃.
When one gram phosphorus and 6 gram of iodine react they gives 8.234 g
ram of PI₃ .
Given data:
Mass of phosphorus = 1 g
Mass of iodine = 6 g
Mass of PI₃ = ?
Solution:
Chemical equation:
P₄ + 6I₂ → 4PI₃
Number of moles of P₄:
Number of moles = Mass /molar mass
Number of mole = 1 g / 123.9 g/mol
Number of moles = 0.01 mol
Number of moles of I₂:
Number of moles = Mass /molar mass
Number of moles = 6 g / 253.8 g/mol
Number of moles = 0.024 mol
Now we will compare the moles of PI₃ with I₂ and P₄.
I₂ : PI₃
6 : 4
0.024 :
4/6×0.024 = 0.02
P₄ : PI₃
1 : 4
0.01 : 4 × 0.01 = 0.04 mol
The number of moles of PI₃ produced by I₂ are less it will be limiting reactant.
Mass of PI₃ = moles × molar mass
Mass of PI₃ = 0.02 mol × 411.7 g/mol
Mass of PI₃ = 8.234 g
I would say the second option
Hope this helps *smiles*
