For the following reaction, 5.29 grams of water are mixed with excess diphosphorus pentoxide. The reaction yields 13.3 grams of phosphoric acid . diphosphorus pentoxide(s) + water(l) phosphoric acid(aq). What is the theoretical yield of phosphoric acid?

19.2 g

Explanation:

Step 1: Write the balanced equation

P₂O₅(s) + 3 H₂O(l) ⇒ 2 H₃PO₄

Step 2: Calculate the moles corresponding to 5.29 g of H₂O

The molar mass of H₂O is 18.02 g/mol.

5.29 g × 1 mol/18.02 g = 0.294 mol

Step 3: Calculate the theoretical yield of phosphoric acid, in moles

The molar ratio of H₂O to H₃PO₄ is 3:2. The theoretical yield of H₃PO₄ is 2/3 × 0.294 mol = 0.196 mol

Step 4: Calculate the mass corresponding to 0.196 moles of H₃PO₄

The molar mass of H₃PO₄ is 97.99 g/mol.

0.196 mol × 97.99 g/mol = 19.2 g
