Consider the balanced chemical reaction shown below.
4 PH3(g) + 8 O2(g) 6 H2O(l) + 1 P4O10(s)
In a certain experiment, 3.382 g of PH3(g) reacts with 8.377 g of O2(g).
(a) Which is the limiting reactant?
(b) How many grams of H2O(l) form?
(c) How many grams of P4O10(s) form?
(d) How many grams of the excess reactant remains after the limiting reactant is completely consumed?
