Detailed Solution

nP4=1.2431×4=0.01mol,nO2=832=0.25 moles 

In reaction (i), moles of O2 required

= (0.01 mol P45 mol O2mol P4

=0.01 x 5=0.05 mol

Since there is more O2 present than required

1. Therefore, P4 is the limiting quantity.

2. Wrong

3.  Mw P4O10=284

0.01 mol of P4 produces = 0.01 mol of P4O10

=0.01 mol P41 mol P4O10mol P4O10284 g P4O10mol P4O10=0.01×284=2.84g

Hence, (3) is wrong

4. Mw of P4O6=220

Weight of P4O6 produced

=0.01 mol P41 mol P4O6mol P4O6220 g P4O6mol P4O6=0.01×220=2.2g

Hence, (4) is wrong
