Answer:
Mass = 11.78 g of P₄
Explanation:
The balance chemical equation is as follow:
6 Sr + P4 → 2 Sr₃P₂
Step 1: Calculate moles of Sr as;
Moles = Mass / M/Mass
Moles = 50.0 g / 87.62 g/mol
Moles = 0.570 moles
Step 2: Find moles of P₄ as;
According to equation,
6 moles of Sr reacted with = 1 mole of P₄
So,
0.570 moles of Sr will react with = X moles of P₄
Solving for X,
X = 1 mol × 0.570 mol / 6 mol
X = 0.0952 mol of P₄
Step 3: Calculate mass of P₄ as,
Mass = Moles × M.Mass
Mass = 0.0952 mol × 123.89 g/mol
Mass = 11.78 g of P₄
