Answer:

The answer is 2 moles of HCl

Explanation:

To solve we have to adjust the equation:

PCl5 + 4H2O = 5HCl + H3PO4

we calculate the molecular weights of the compounds using the periodic table:

P = 30.97 g/mol

Cl = 5x35.45 = 177.25 g/mol

H = 1 g/mol

PCl5 = 30.97+177.25 = 208.22 g/mol

HCl =1+35.45 = 36.45 g/mol

we use a rule of three to calculate the mass of hydrochloric acid that forms when the 83.3 phosphorus pentachloride reacts:

208.22 g PCl5-----------------182.25 g HCl

83.3 g PCl5------------------------X g HCl

Clearing the X, we have:

X g HCl = (83.3x182.25)/208.22 = 72.91 g HCl

we calculate the moles of hydrochloric acid:

Moles of HCl = 72.91/36.45 = 2 moles of HCl

Identify the type of reaction described in the sentence below. then, write a chemical equation. be sure to specify the states of
natulia [17]

Answer : The type of reaction described in the sentence is Synthesis or Combination

Explanation :

The balanced equation for the reaction between Phosphorous and Oxygen gas can be written as

4P (s) + 5O_{2} (g) ------>  P_{4} O_{10}  (s)

From the above equation we can see that there are two different reactants ( P and O₂ ) which are combining with each other to give a single product.

This type of reaction is known as Combination or Synthesis.

A general form of Synthesis reaction is given below.

A + B ---->  AB

Here we can conclude that a synthesis / combination reaction is the one where 2 or more reactants combine together to give only one product .
