Question

the balanced chemical equation for the reaction between perchloric acid (hclo4) and tetraphosphorus decaoxide is 12 hclo4 (aq) + p4o10 (s) → 4 h3po4 (aq) + 6 cl2o7 (l). we can interpret this to mean: 1 mole of tetraphosphorus decaoxide and mole(s) of perchloric acid (hclo4) react to produce: mole(s) of phosphoric acid and mole(s) of dichlorine heptaoxide. 9 more group attempts remaining

Explanation:

Step1: Identify stoichiometric coefficients

From the balanced chemical equation \(12HClO_{4}(aq)+P_{4}O_{10}(s)\longrightarrow4H_{3}PO_{4}(aq) + 6Cl_{2}O_{7}(l)\), the coefficient of \(HClO_{4}\) is 12 and coefficient of \(P_{4}O_{10}\) is 1.

Step2: Analyze moles relationship

The equation shows that 1 mole of \(P_{4}O_{10}\) reacts with 12 moles of \(HClO_{4}\) to produce 4 moles of \(H_{3}PO_{4}\) and 6 moles of \(Cl_{2}O_{7}\).

Answer:

12 moles of perchloric acid react with 1 mole of tetraphosphorus decaoxide to produce 4 moles of phosphoric acid and 6 moles of dichlorine heptaoxide. So the answers are 4 moles of phosphoric acid and 6 moles of dichlorine heptaoxide.
