    1) P4O10 + 6H20 → 4H3PO4

    2) 1.25 moles of P4O10

    3) 7.5 moles of water

    Explanation:

    1. Write the balanced equation for this reaction

    P4O10 + 6H20 → 4H3PO4

    2) Determine the number of moles of P4O10 required to produce 5.00 moles of phosphoric acid.

    For 1 mole P4O10 consumed, we need 6 moles of water to produce 4 moles of H3PO4

    If we get 5.00 moles of H3PO4, we'll have 5/4 = 1.25 moles of P4O10 consumed.

    3) Determine the number of moles of water required to produce 5.00 moles of phosphoric acid

    For 1 mole P4O10 consumed, we need 6 moles of water to produce 4 moles of H3PO4

    If we have 5.00 moles of H3PO4, we'll get (6/4) * 5 = 7.5 moles of water consumed.
