A decomposition of a sample of diphosphorus trioxide forms 1.29 g phosphorus to every 1.00 g oxygen. The decomposition of a sample of diphosphorus pentoxide forms 0.775 g phosphorus to every 1.00 g oxygen. Required:
How many grams of P205 are formed when 5.89 g of P react with excess oxgen?

There is 13.48 grams of P2O5 formed

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

A decomposition of a sample of diphosphorus trioxide forms 1.29 g phosphorus to every 1.00 g oxygen.

Mass of P = 5.89 grams

Molar mass of O2 = 32.0 g/mol

atomic mass of P = 30.97 g/mol

molar mass of P2O5 = 141.94 g/mol

Step 2: The balanced equation

4P(s)+5O2(g)⇔ 2P2O5(s)

Step 3: Calculate moles of P

Moles P = Mass P / atomic mass P

Moles P = 5.89 grams / 30.97 g/mol

Moles P = 0.190 moles

Step 4: Calculate moles of P2O5

For 4 moles P we need 5 moles O2 to produce 2 moles P2O5

For 0.190 moles of P we'll have 0.190/2 = 0.095 moles P2O5

Step 5: Calculate mass of P2O5

Mass P2O5 = moles P2O5 * molar mass P2O5

Mass P2O5 = 0.095 moles * 141.94 g/mol

Mass P2O5 = 13.48 grams

There is 13.48 grams of P2O5 formed

both adhesion and cohesion are attractions.

they are different in that adhesion is the force of attraction between the molecules of two different substances, whereas cohesion is the force of attraction between molecules of the same substance.

possible examples include capillary action, in which the adhesion between water and glass causes the water to rise in a narrow tube against the force of gravity.

because of hydrogen bonding, water is extremely cohesive.

this causes molecules on the surface of water to be drawn inward, which is why drops of water form beads on smooth surfaces.
