When a piece of solid phosphorus is added to a flask containing chlorine gas, heat is evolved?

1 answer:

7 0

White phosphorus burns spontaneously in chlorine to produce a mixture of two chlorides, phosphorus (ii) chloride and phosphorus(v) chloride and heat is evolved. Phosphorus (iii) chloride is a colorless fuming liquid:
P4 + 6Cl2 = 4PCl3
Phosphorus (v) chloride is an off-white solid
P4 +10Cl2 = 4PCl5

Balance the following equation:

Firdavs [7]

Answer: a) $2K_2CrO_4+3Na_2SO_3+10HCl\rightarrow 4KCl+3Na_2SO_4+2CrCl_3+5H_2O$

b) 1 mole of $SO_2$ is produced.

Explanation:

According to the law of conservation of mass, mass can neither be created nor be destroyed. Thus the mass of products has to be equal to the mass of reactants. The number of atoms of each element has to be same on reactant and product side. Thus chemical equations are balanced.

The skeletal equation is:

$K_2CrO_4+Na_2SO_3+HCl\rightarrow KCl+Na_2SO_4+CrCl_3 +H_2O$
