Answer:
No
Explanation:
One mole of P₄ react with six moles of I₂ and gives 4 moles of PI₃.
When one gram phosphorus and 6 gram of iodine react they gives 8.234 g ram of PI₃ .
Given data:
Mass of phosphorus = 1 g
Mass of iodine = 6 g
Mass of PI₃ = ?
Solution:
Chemical equation:
P₄ + 6I₂ → 4PI₃
Number of moles of P₄:
Number of moles = Mass /molar mass
Number of mole = 1 g / 123.9 g/mol
Number of moles = 0.01 mol
Number of moles of I₂:
Number of moles = Mass /molar mass
Number of moles = 6 g / 253.8 g/mol
Number of moles = 0.024 mol
Now we will compare the moles of PI₃ with I₂ and P₄.
I₂ : PI₃
6 : 4
0.024 : 4/6×0.024 = 0.02
P₄ : PI₃
1 : 4
0.01 : 4 × 0.01 = 0.04 mol
The number of moles of PI₃ produced by I₂ are less it will be limiting reactant.
Mass of PI₃ = moles × molar mass
Mass of PI₃ = 0.02 mol × 411.7 g/mol
Mass of PI₃ = 8.234 g
