Stars on the main sequence fuse hydrogen into helium via a six-stage sequence of reactions
Answer:
3.00 mol
Explanation:
Given data:
Mass of P₄ = 211 g
Mass of oxygen = 240 g
Moles of P₂O₅ = ?
Solution:
Chemical equation:
P₄ + 5O₂ → 2P₂O₅
Number of moles of P₄:
Number of moles = mass/ molar mass
Number of moles = 211 g / 123.88 g/mol
Number of moles = 1.7 mol
Number of moles of O₂ :
Number of moles = mass/ molar mass
Number of moles = 240 g / 32g/mol
Number of moles = 7.5 mol
Now we will compare the moles of product with reactant.
O₂ : P₂O₅
5 : 2
7.5 : 2/5×7.5 = 3.00
P₄ : P₂O₅
1 : 2
1.7 : 2×1.7 = 3.4 mol
Oxygen is limiting reactant so the number of moles of P₂O₅ are 3.00 mol.
Mass of P₂O₅:
Mass = number of moles × molar mass
Mass = 3 mol ×283.9 g/mol
Mass = 852 g
