0.75 moles of a solid A4 are heated with 2 moles of O2 (g) in a sealed vessel.Completely using up the reactants, the reaction produces only one compound.

The formula for the product will be
- (a)
A2O3
- (b)
A3O8

Since, both the reactants are completely consumed, therefore, the ratio of stoichiometric coefficients would be 0.75 : 2 or 3:8.
Thus, 3A4 + 8 O2 \(\rightarrow\) Product
If final pressure is that of half of oxygen initially, the molecular formula will be A3O4 , therefore,
3A4 + 8 O2 \(\rightarrow\) 4A3O4
