0.3268 moles of PC15 can be produced from 58.0 g of Cl₂ (and excess
P4)
<h3>How to calculate moles?</h3>The balanced chemical equation is
The mass of clorine is m() = 58.0 g
The amount of clorine is n() = m(
)/M(
) = 58/70.906 = 0.817 mol
The stoichiometric reaction,shows that
10 moles of yield 4 moles of
;
0.817 of yield x moles of
n() = 4*0.817/10 = 0.3268 mol

Answer : The oxidation number of chlorine (Cl) is, (+1)
Explanation :
Oxidation number : It represent the number of electrons lost or gained by the atoms of an element in a compound.
Oxidation numbers are generally written with the sign (+) and (-) first and then the magnitude.
When the atoms are present in their elemental state then the oxidation number will be zero.
Rules for Oxidation Numbers :
The oxidation number of a free element is always zero.
The oxidation number of a monatomic ion equals the charge of the ion.
The oxidation number of Hydrogen (H) is +1, but it is -1 in when combined with less electronegative elements.
The oxidation number of oxygen (O) in compounds is usually -2, but it is -1 in peroxides.
The oxidation number of a Group 1 element in a compound is +1.
The oxidation number of a Group 2 element in a compound is +2.
The oxidation number of a Group 17 element in a binary compound is -1.
The sum of the oxidation numbers of all of the atoms in a neutral compound is zero.
The sum of the oxidation numbers in a polyatomic ion is equal to the charge of the ion.
The given compound is,
Let the oxidation state of 'Cl' be, 'x'
Therefore, the oxidation number of chlorine (Cl) is, (+1)
