Question

Phosphorous pentachloride is used in the industrial preparation of many organic phosphorous compounds. Equation I shows its preparation from PCl3 and Cl2:

 

          (I)    PCl3 (l)  + Cl2(g)  à  PCl5(s)

 

Use equation II and III to calculate  ∆Hrxs of  equation I:

 

(II)     P4 (s) + 6 Cl2 (g)   à  4 PCl3  (l)          ∆H = -1280 KJ

 

(III)   P4 (s) + 10 Cl2 (g)  à  4 PCl5 (s)          ∆H = -1774 KJ
