Tetraphosphorus hexoxide (M = 219.9 g/mol) is formed by the reaction of phosphorus with oxygen gas
P4 (s) + 3O2 (g) → P4O6 (s)
If a mixture of 75 3 g of phosphorus and 38.7 g of oxygen produce 43.3 g of P4O6, what is the percent yield for the reaction?
Select one:
(a) 57.5%
(b) 38.0%
(c) 16.3%
(d) 32.4%
(e) 48.8%
