P₄O₁₀ + 6H₂O → 4H₃PO₄
The equation shows us that the molar ratio of
P₄O₁₀ : 6H₂O = 1:6
We also know that one mole of a substance contains 6.02 x 10²³ particles. We can use this to calculate the moles of water.
moles(H₂O) = (5.51 x 10²³) / (6.02 x 10²³)
= 0.92 mole
That means moles of P₄O₁₀ = 0.92 / 6
= 0.15
Each mole of P₄O₁₀ contains 4 moles of P.
moles(P) = 4 x 0.15 = 0.6 mol
Mr of P = 207 grams per mol
Mass of P = 207 x 0.6
= 124.2 grams
51.86 grams would be in the container.
One ounce is an equivalent of 28.34 grams, so times that by 12.2
.
12.2 * 28.34 = 345.75.
Put the percentage into decimal form, so 15% would now be 0.15.
0.15 * 345.75 = 51.86.
To balance this equation simply place the coefficient 2 in front of both the iron metal and the iron II oxide FeO.
