1. Tetraphosphorus hexaoxide ( = 219.9 g/mol) is formed by the reaction of phosphorus with oxygen gas. P4(s) + 3O2(g) → P4O6(s) If a mixture of 75.3 g of phosphorus and 38.7 g of oxygen are allowed to react;
a. By calculation, find out which is the limiting reagent. (show all your work for full credit)
b. Calculate the maximum mass of P4O6 in grams can be formed from this reaction.
c. If this reaction produces 43.3 g of P4O6, what is the percent yield for the reaction?
d. Calculate the mass of excess reactant remaining after the reaction is complete. (Based on the stoichiometry of the reaction)
