The correct option is D 3.55 g
The molar masses of P4, O2 and P4O10 are 4×31=124 g/mol, 2×16=32 g/mol and 4(31)+10(16)=284 g/mol respectively.
2.0 g of P4 corresponds to 2.0124=0.016 moles.
2.0 g of O2 corresponds to 2.032=0.0625 moles.
1 mole of P4 combines with 5 moles of P4O10
Hence, 0.016 moles of P4 will combine with 5×0.016=0.080 moles of O2
However, only 0.0625 moles of O2 are present.
Thus, O2 is the limiting reagent.
5 moles of O2 will produce 1 mole of P4O10.
Hence, 0.0625 moles of O2 will produce 0.06255=0.0125 moles of P4O10.
This corresponds to 0.0125×284=3.55 g of P4O10.
