plant manufactures a high-grade phosphoric acid used in different laboratory experiments. The process involves the reaction of phosphorus pentoxide and water. If 75 grams of phosphorus pentoxide reacts with excess water, what amount of phosphoric will it yield? With the problem given, the actual production of phosphoric acid is 43 ml. What is the percentage yield of phosphoric acid? Use 1.88 g/ml as the density of the phosphoric acid.
