Concept explainers
Interpretation: The mass of phosphoric acid that can be formed for the given reaction needs to be determined.
Concept Introduction:A
There can be more than one reactant molecules involve in a chemical reaction to form the products. The reactant which is present in limited amount in a chemical reaction is called as limiting reactant.
Answer to Problem 65A
Explanation of Solution
Given information:
Mass of P = 20.0 g
Mass of O2 = 30.0 g
Mass of water = 15.0 g
The reactions are represented as follows:
Mass of P4= 20.0 g
Mass of O2 = 30.0 g
Molar mass of P4 = 123.8 g/mol
Molar mass of O2 = 32.0 g/mol
For the reaction (1):
Calculate moles of both reactant and determine the limiting reactant:
Since the calculated moles of
Mass of water = 15.0 g
Molar mass of water = 18.0 g/mol
Calculate moles of water:
Determine the limiting reactant for equation (2):
Since the calculated moles of P4O10 are more so H2O must be limiting reactant.
Calculate mass of H3PO4 as follows:
Thus, mass is
