Answer:

55.7 moles of PCl₃ and 55.7 moles of Cl₂

Explanation:

The balanced chemical equation for the reaction in which phosphorus pentachloride (PCl₅) is decomposed in phosphorus trichloride gas (PCl₃) and chloride gas (Cl₂) is the following:

PCl₅(g) → PCl₃(g) + Cl₂(g)

According to the stoichiometric coefficients, 1 mol of PCl₅ produces 1 mol of PCl₃ and 1 mol of Cl₂. So, the stoichiometric ratios reactant/product are: 1 mol PCl₃/1 mol PCl₅ and 1 mol Cl₂/1 mol PCl₅. Thus, we multiply the stoichiometric ratios by the number of moles of reactant:

1 mol PCl₃/1 mol PCl₅ x 55.7 mol PCl₅ = 55.7 mol PCl₃

1 mol Cl₂/1 mol PCl₅ x 55.7 mol PCl₅ = 55.7 mol Cl₂

Therefore, 55.7 moles of PCl₃ and 55.7 moles of Cl₂ are obtained from the decomposition of 55.7 moles of PCl₅.

Andre45 [30]

Answer: B

Explanation: Traits usually die off when they are unneeded by the organism, or if the trait causes harm to the organism's survival. Through natural selection, over time, the organisms with the best combination of traits for its survival will become the dominating species, and those with weaker traits may not survive long enough to pass off their traits to future offspring.
