Answer:
73.2g
Explanation:
The reaction expression is given as:
P₄ + 6Cl₂ → 4PCl₃
Given parameters:
Volume of chlorine gas = 79.2L
Unknown:
Mass of Phosphorus needed = ?
Solution:
To solve this problem, let us find the number of moles of the chlorine gas.
Since the condition of the reaction is at STP;
22.4L of gas is contained in 1 mole
79.2L of chlorine gas will contain = 3.54mole
From the reaction expression;
6 moles of chlorine gas will react with 1 mole of P₄
3.54 mole of chlorine gas will completely react with = 0.59mole of P₄
Mass of P₄ = number of moles x molar mass
Molar mass of P₄ = 4 x 31 = 124g/mol
Mass of P₄ = 0.59 x 124 = 73.2g

Explanation:
In a chemical reaction, a particular reaction path may be favoured due to the fact that it is energetically more favourable(lower energy sigma complex is formed).
The more the resonance structures produced in a particular reaction pathway, the more energetically favourable it is.
In the chlorination of bromobenzene, ortho attack and para attack are preferred because each of these pathways involves a sigma complex with__4________resonance structures. Attack at the meta position involves formation of a sigma complex with only____3_______ resonance structures. The reaction will proceed more rapidly via the_____lower_______ energy sigma complex, so attack takes place at the ortho and para positions in preference to the meta position.
