Solid phosphorus and chlorine gas react to form phosphorus pentachloride gas .write a balanced chemical equation for this reaction.
Balanced chemical equation :
2 P + 5 Cl₂ = 2 PCl₅
hope this helps!
Answer:
\(2P(s)+5Cl_2(g)\rightarrow 2PCl_5(g)\)
Explanation:
Hello,
In this case, with the given information the undergoing chemical reaction is:
\(P(s)+Cl_2(g)\rightarrow PCl_5(g)\)
Hence, when balancing, we find it as:
\(2P(s)+5Cl_2(g)\rightarrow 2PCl_5(g)\)
Best regards.
