First, we need to balance the chemical equation: P₄O₁₀(s) + 6 H2O(l) → 4 H₃P₄O₄(aq) Next, we need to use stoichiometry to find the theoretical yield of phosphoric acid: 10.0 g P₄O₁₀ × (1 mol P₄O₁₀/284 g P₄O₁₀) × (4 mol H₃P₄O₄/1 mol P₄O₁₀) × (98.0 g H₃P₄O₄/1 mol H₃P₄O₄) = 138 g H₃P₄O₄ Therefore, the theoretical yield of phosphoric acid is 13.8 g. The answer is D.
