According to the balanced chemical equation:
4 HPO₃ + 12 C → 2 H₂ + 12 CO + P₄
4 moles of HPO₃ ---gives---> 12 moles of CO
2.73 moles of HPO₃ ---gives---> ? moles of CO
so number of moles of CO =
= 8.19 moles of CO
Number of molecules of CO = number of moles * Avogadro's number
= 8.19 * (6.022 * 10²³) = 4.93 * 10²⁴ molecules
