If 31g of P4 is reacted with excess oxygen, the percentage yield is 60%, then the amount of product formed is?
Step 1:
The chemical equation for the given reaction is:
P4+5O2⟶P4O10
Iftheyeildis100%
(4×31gmofP4)gave=(4×31+16×10gm)ofP4O10
Therefore31gmofP4willgive=31×284124gmofP4O10
=71gmofP4O10
Step 2:
Howevertheyeildis60%
Hencetheamountofproductis=0.6×71
Amountofproduct=42.6gmofproduct
