P2O5 + H2O = H3PO4
the balanced reaction
P2O5 + 3H2O = 2H3PO4
then
MW P2O5 = 283.89
MW of H3PO4 = 98
MW of H2O = 18
mol of P2O5 = mass/MW = 21.6/283.89 = 0.076085 mol of P2O5
mol of H2O = mass/MW = 8.2/18 = 0.45555 mol of H2O
then
ratio is
1 mol of P2O5 :3 mol of water
0.076085 mol of P2O5 will react with 3*0.076085 = 0.228255 mol of H2O; which we DO have, therefore P2O5 is limiting
then since rati ois 1:2 with respect of P2O5 and H3PO4
0.076085 *2 = 0.15217 mol of H3PO4 are expect to be produced
mass = mol*MW = 0.15217*98 = 14.91266 g of H3PO4
