Answer: 2.67 moles of Phosphine are produced

Explanation:

From the equation 3H2 + P2 → 2PH3

3 moles of hydrogen (H2) = 2 moles of Phosphine (PH3)

4 moles of hydrogen = X moles of PH3

Then, cross multiply

X moles of Phosphine = (4 x 2) / 3

= 8 / 3

= 2.67 moles

Thus, 4 moles of hydrogen produces 2.67 moles of Phosphine
