Difficulty: Medium
Correct Answer: 3.046 g
Explanation:
Given
Approach
Find the limiting reagent, then compute product moles and mass.
Step-by-step
n(P4) = 1.33/124 = 0.010726 moln(O2) = 5.07/32 = 0.15844 molO2 needed = 5×0.010726 = 0.05363 mol (available 0.15844 mol → excess)P4 is limiting, so n(P4O10) = n(P4) = 0.010726 molm(P4O10) = 0.010726 × 284 = 3.046 g
Verification
Significant figures from 1.33 and 5.07 → ~3.05 g.
Final Answer
3.046 g (≈ 3.05 g).
