Question

Concentrate nitric acid oxidises phosphorus to phosphoric acid according to the following equation:
P+5HNO3(conc.)H3PO4+H2O+5NO2
If 9.3 g of phosphorus was used in the reaction, calculate:
The mass of phosphoric acid formed.

Solution

P+5HNO3H3PO4+H2O+5NO2
Molecular weight of H3PO4 =3+31+ 16×4 =98.
If 31g of P produces 98g of H3PO4.
Then 9.3 g of P produces = 9831×9.3 =29.39g=29.4g.
