I'm not trying to get people to do my homework. I just need to know how this type of problem is done. Then I can do it on my own. The last question was helpful. So, again, the 10 points goes to whomever can get the answer and show their work first.
The reaction problems seem pretty hard to me.

First write the reaction: P + O2 === P4O10
Then balance the equation: 4P +5O2 ====P4O10
Now compare the moles in front of each substance...For every 4 moles of P, only 1 mole of P4O10 is produced. So for 8 moles of P, 2 moles of P4O10 is produced.
The answer is 2 moles P4O10!

Just to let you know, Phosphorous comes in P4 monomers.
Just like oxygen comes as O2.
