How many moles are prepared from????

How many moles of P4S10 can be prepared from 0.25 moles of P4 and 0.25 moles of S8?


There are no other reactants or products.

How many moles are prepared from????
0.2





.25 moles * 8/10


you need 10 atoms of S in the product. The reactant has only 8, so for every .25 moles of S8, you will get .25 * 8/10 of reactant.
Reply:4P4 + 5S8 --%26gt; 4P4S10





You need 5 moles of S8 to react with 4 moles of S4


S8 is the limiting reagent.





0.25 moles S8 x (4/5) = 0.20 moles of P4S10
