Amount of tetraphosphorus decoxide formed is 38.60g, amount of potassium chloride formed is 33.99g and amount of red phosphorus consumed in the reaction is 81.48 g.

Explanation:

To calculate the number of moles, we use the equation:

$\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text{Molar mass}}$ ....(1)

For potassium chlorate:

Given mass of potassium chlorate = 56.0 g

Molar mass of potassium chlorate = 122.55 g/mol

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$\text{Moles of potassium chlorate}=\frac{56.0g}{122.55g/mol}=0.456mol$

For the given chemical reaction:

$10KClO_3+12P\rightarrow 3P_4O_{10}+10KCl$

Red phosphorus is given in excess . So, it is considered as an excess reagent and potassium chlorate is considered as a limiting reagent.

For tetraphosphorus decoxide:

By Stoichiometry of the reaction:

10 moles of potassium chlorate reacts with 3 moles of tetraphosphorus decoxide

So, 0.456 moles of potassium chlorate will react with = $\frac{3}{10}\times 0.456=0.136moles$ of tetraphosphorus decoxide

Calculating the mass of tetraphosphorus decoxide by using equation 1, we get:

Molar mass of tetraphosphorus decoxide = 283.886 g/mol

Moles of tetraphosphorus decoxide = 0.136 moles

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$0.136mol=\frac{\text{Mass of tetraphosphorus decoxide}}{283.886g/mol}\\\\\text{Mass of tetraphosphorus decoxide}=38.60g$

For potassium chloride:

By Stoichiometry of the reaction:

10 moles of potassium chlorate reacts with 10 moles of potassium chloride

So, 0.456 moles of potassium chlorate will react with = $\frac{10}{10}\times 0.456=0.456moles$ of potassium chloride

Calculating the mass of potassium chloride by using equation 1, we get:

Molar mass of potassium chloride = 74.55 g/mol

Moles of potassium chloride = 0.456 moles

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$0.456mol=\frac{\text{Mass of potassium chloride}}{74.55g/mol}\\\\\text{Mass of potassium chloride}=33.99g$

For Red phosphorus (excess reagent)

By Stoichiometry of the reaction:

10 moles of potassium chlorate reacts with 12 moles of red phosphorus.

So, 0.456 moles of potassium chlorate will react with = $\frac{12}{10}\times 0.456=2.631moles$ of red phosphorus

Calculating the mass of red phosphorus by using equation 1, we get:

Molar mass of red phosphorus = 30.97 g/mol

Moles of red phosphorus = 2.631 moles

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$2.631mol=\frac{\text{Mass of red phosphorus}}{30.97g/mol}\\\\\text{Mass of red phosphorus}=81.48g$

Hence, amount of tetraphosphorus decoxide formed is 38.60g, amount of potassium chloride formed is 33.99g and amount of red phosphorus consumed in the reaction is 81.48 g.
