Question
Calculate the number of moles of oxygen needed to produce 2.5 moles of diphosphorus pentoxide? P4 (s) + 5 O2 (g) --> 2 P2O5 (s) * 1 point 1.0 mole 2.5 moles 3.0 moles 5 moles 6.3 moles
Expert Solution
Step 1

For production of 2  moles of diphosphorus pentoxidewe need oxygen = 5 moles 

For production of 2.5 moles of diphosphorus pentoxidewe need oxygen =

         =    5*2.5/2

            =6.25moles ofoxygen i.e. 

6.3 moles of oxygen is the correct option.
