P4O6 reacts with water according to equation P4O6 + 6H2O → 4H3PO3.
Calculate the volume of 0.1 M NaOH solution required to neutralise the acid formed by dissolving 1.1 g of P4O6 in H2O.
P4O6 + 6H2O
4H3PO3
4H3PO3 + 8NaOH
Na2HPO3 + 8H20
NET REACTION:
P4O6 + 8NaOH
4Na2HPO3 + 2H2O
Moles of P4O6 =
= 0.5
Acid formed by one mole of P4o6 requires = 8 mol
Acid formed by 0.005 mol of NaOH is present in 100mL solution
0.04 of NaOH is present in solution =
*0.04 = 400mL
