    The mass of P4 required to obtain 2.30 PCl3 0.694 g

    calculation

    p4 + 6 Cl2→ 4 pcl3

    step 1:calculate the moles of PCl3

    moles = mass/molar mass

    from periodic table the molar mass of PCl3 = 31 + (3 x35.5) = 137.5 g/mol

    moles = 2.30 / 137.5 = 0.0167 moles

    step 2: use the mole ratio to find the moles of P4

    from equation above the mole ratio of p4 : PCl3 is 1:3 therefore the moles of p4

    = 0.0167 x1/3 = 0.0056 moles

    step 3: find the mass of P4

    mass = moles x molar mass

    from periodic table the molar mass of P4 = 31 x4 = 124 g/mol

    mass = 0.0056 x 124 = 0.694 g
