what is the maximum mass of p2i4 that can be prepared from 8.08 g of p4o6 and 9.12 g of iodine according to the reaction

Sagot :

Maximum mass of p2i4 that can be prepared is 10.33 gm.

The balanced chemical reaction would be as follows:

5P4O6 + 8I2 → 4P2I4 + 3P4O10

Molar Mass of P4O6 = 219.88 g/mol

Molar mass of molecular iodine = 253.8 g/mol

Molar mass of P2I4 = 569.57 g/mol

We are given the amount of reactants used for the reaction. We first need to determine the limiting reactant from the given amounts. We do as follows:

8.08g of P4O6 = 8.08/219.88 = 0.036 Moles

9.21 g of iodine = 9.21/253.8 = 0.03627 moles

Therefore, the limiting reactant is iodine since less it is being consumed completely in the reaction. We calculate the amount of P2I4 prepared as follows:

0.03627 Moles of iodine will react with (0.03627 x 5/8) 0.02267 moles of P4O6 and will give (0.02267 x4/5) 0.181 moles of P2I4.

That is equal to (0.0181 x 569.57) 10.33 gm of P2I4.
