Tetraphosphorus (P4), commonly known as white phosphorus, formsdifferent compounds with chlorine (Cl2) depending on the amount ofchlorine present. If chlorine is limited, phosphorus trichloride(PCl3) is formed. If there is an excess of chlorine, phosphoruspentachloride (PCl5) is formed.
Write balanced equations for the two reactions of whitephosphorus with chlorine.
a) Design an experiment that could be performed to verify eachsynthesis reaction. Include a hypothesis relating to whether PCl3or PCl5 will be produced, information about the initial masses youwould use, and possible problems that might arise.
b) Based on the ratio of moles of reactants in each case,predict the product of each trial of your experiment (PCl3 or PCl5)using your chosen initial masses. Explain your reasoning, and showany calculations
c) Suppose you choose the initial masses so that both reactionsproduce PCl3. Explain how both of these chemical reactions obey thelaw of definite proportions, even though they produce differentnumbers of moles of the product. Justify your answer withcalculations.
