Question

Consider the balanced equation below. PCI3+CI2>PCI5. what is the mole ratio of PCI3 to PCI5?

Answer 1

The mole ratio of PCl₃ to PCl₅ is 1 : 1

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the balanced equation;

PCI₃ + CI₂ → PCI₅

• When an equation is balanced one can get the mole ratio of the elements or compounds involved in the reaction.

• The mole ratio shows the ratio of moles of any two elements or compounds used or produced in a chemical reaction.

• In this case, the mole ratio of PCl₃ to PCl₅ is 1 : 1.
• It means that for every 1 mole of PCl₃ that reacts, 1 mole of PCl₅ is produced.
