Answer : The mass of chlorine reacted with the phosphorus is, 53.25 grams.
Explanation :
First we have to calculate the moles of phosphorus.
Now we have to calculate the moles of
The balanced chemical reaction is:
From the balanced chemical reaction, we conclude that
As, 2 moles of phosphorous react with 3 moles of
So, 0.5 moles of phosphorous react with moles of
Now we have to calculate the mass of
Molar mass of = 71 g/mol
Therefore, the mass of chlorine reacted with the phosphorus is, 53.25 grams.
