Respuesta :

Balanced chemical equation :

2 P + 5 Cl = 2 PCl

hope this helps!


Answer:

[tex]2P(s)+5Cl_2(g)\rightarrow 2PCl_5(g)[/tex]

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, with the given information the undergoing chemical reaction is:

[tex]P(s)+Cl_2(g)\rightarrow PCl_5(g)[/tex]

Hence, when balancing, we find it as:

[tex]2P(s)+5Cl_2(g)\rightarrow 2PCl_5(g)[/tex]

Best regards.
