Question

When phosphorus reacts with chlorine, phosphorus trichloride is formed according to the equation: ___P4(s) + ___Cl2(g)? ___PCl3(l) (unbalanced) Balance the equation and determine how many grams of chlorine would be required to react with 10.6 g of phosphorus. Answer A. 24.3 g B. 74.1 g C. 18.5 g D. 36.4 g E. 6.07 g When phosphorus reacts with chlorine, phosphorus trichloride is formed according to the equation: ___P4(s) + ___Cl2(g)? ___PCl3(l) (unbalanced) Balance the equation and determine how many grams of chlorine would be required to react with 10.6 g of phosphorus.

Explanation / Answer

P4 + 6Cl2 = 4PCl3

124 g of P requires 421 g of Cl, so for 10.6 g of P we require 10.6*421/124 = 36 g of Cl
