Cross-multiplied StoichiometryHardQuestion 600061
Question
If P₄ + 5O₂ → P₄O₁₀, then 6.2 g of P₄ (M=124) reacts with how many grams of O₂?
- A4 g
- B8 gCorrect
- C16 g
- D32 g
Correct answer
8 g
Explanation
n(P₄) = 6.2/124 = 0.05 mol. From stoichiometry: 0.05 mol P₄ × 5 mol O₂ = 0.25 mol O₂. Mass = 0.25 × 32 = 8 g.
