Answer 1

Balanced chemical equation :

2 P + 5 Cl₂ = 2 PCl₅

hope this helps!

Answer 2

Answer:

$2P(s)+5Cl_2(g)\rightarrow 2PCl_5(g)$

Explanation:

Hello,

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

$P(s)+Cl_2(g)\rightarrow PCl_5(g)$

Hence, when balancing, we find it as:

$2P(s)+5Cl_2(g)\rightarrow 2PCl_5(g)$

Best regards.
