Solution

Given equation is :
P + 5HNO3 → H3PO4 + H2O + 5NO2
Molecular mass of phosphorous = 31
Molecular mass of phosphoric acid = 98
31g of phosphorous produces = 98g of phosphoric acid
6.2g of phosphorous will produce = 98 x 6.2/31 = 19.6g
Hence, 19.6g of phosphoric acid can be prepared from 6.2g of phosphorous.
