b. How many moles of phosphorous pentachloride will react with 7.36 g of water?
PCl5+4H20–>5HCl+H3PO4


Sagot :

Answer:

0.102 mol

Explanation:

Step 1: Write the balanced equation

PCl₅ + 4 H₂O ⇒ 5 HCl + H₃PO₄

Step 2: Calculate the moles corresponding to 7.36 g of H₂O

The molar mass of H₂O is 18.02 g/mol.

7.36 g × 1 mol/18.02 g = 0.408 mol

Step 3: Calculate the moles of PCl₅ required to react with 0.408 moles of H₂O

The molar ratio of PCl₅ to H₂O is 1:4.

0.408 mol H₂O × 1 mol PCl₅/4 mol H₂O = 0.102 mol PCl₅
