Solution

Equations to be considered as :P4 + 3O2P4O6P4 + 5O2P4O10Let x be the mass of P4 that is converted into P4O6 and the rest (2-x)g is converted to P4O10.Mass of oxygen required for P4O6 =x31×4×96=96124x gMass of oxygen required of P4O10=(2-x)31×4×160=160124(2-x) gThe total mass of oxygen used = 2 gSo, 96124x+160124(2-x)=296x+320 - 160x=248320-248=(160-96)xx=7264=1.125 gMass of P4O6 obtained = Mass of P4Molar mass of P4×molar mass of P4O6 =1.125124×220=1.996 gMass of P4O10 obtained=Total mass taken-Mass of P4O6=4-1.996=2.004 g
