so we are doing molecular conversions in chemistry and there is one thing i need guidance on?

we are calculationg the mass in grams of 4.55x10^25 molecules of manganese(III)phosphide. After converting to molecules to mols, and mols to grams, my teacher said that the mass of manganese(III)phosphide is 85.91g for 1 mol. she did not multiply the mass of the manganese by 3. Am i wrong or is she right? in that equation, are you supposed to multiply the Ma by 3 or the P by any number? pls help me... thanks

There is no reason to multiply the mass of Mn by 3. The formula for manganese(III)phosphide is MnP.

Note particularly that the "III" in "manganese(III)phosphide" does NOT mean that there are three atoms of Mn. It means that the Mn atom has an oxidation state of 3+.
