$m_{H_3PO_4}=31.5gH_3PO_4$

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, the undergoing chemical reaction is:

$P_2O_5(s)+3H_2O(l)\rightarrow 2H_3PO_4(aq)$

Thus, since the diphosphorus pentoxide to water molar ratio is 1:3 and we are given the mass of both of them, for the calculation of the maximum mass phosphoric acid that is yielded, one could first identify the limiting reactant, for which we compute the available moles of diphosphorus pentoxide (molar mass 142 g/mol):

$n_{P_2O_5}=22.8gP_2O_5*\frac{1molP_2O_5}{142gP_2O_5}=0.161molP_2O_5$

And the moles of diphosphorus pentoxide that are consumed by 13.5 g of water (molar mass 18 g/mol):

$n_{P_2O_5}^{consumed}=13.5gH_2O*\frac{1molH_2O}{18gH_2O}*\frac{1molP_2O_5}{3molH_2O} =0.25molP_2O_5$

Hence, since less moles of diphosphorus pentoxide are available, we sum up it is the limiting reactant, therefore, the maximum mass of phosphoric acid (molar mass 98 g/mol) is computed by considering the 1:2 molar ratio between them as follows:

$m_{H_3PO_4}=0.161molP_2O_5*\frac{2molH_3PO_4}{1molP_2O_5} *\frac{98gH_3PO_4}{1molH_3PO_4} \\\\m_{H_3PO_4}=31.5gH_3PO_4$

Regards.

Answer from: Quest

most historians agree that gabriel mouton, the vicar of st. paul’s church in lyons, france, is the “founding father” of the metric system. he proposed a decimal system of measurement in 1670. mouton based it on the length of one minute of arc of a great circle of the earth (now called a nautical mile, 1852 meters). he also proposed the swing-length of a pendulum with a frequency of one beat per second as the unit of length (about 25 cm). a pendulum beating with this length would have been fairly easy to produce, thus facilitating the widespread distribution of uniform standards. over the years, his work was revised, improved, and extended by a number of french scientists.

the political sponsor of weights and measures reform in the french revolutionary national assembly was the bishop of autun, better known as talleyrand. under his auspices, the french academy appointed several committees to carry out the work of developing a usable system of weights and measures for france. one of the committees recommended a decimalized measurement system based upon a length equal to one ten-millionth of the length of a quadrant of the earth’s meridian (i.e., one ten-millionth of the distance between the equator and the north pole).
