Balance the following equation by adding the correct mole numbers.
P⁴+Cl²->PCl³

Hey there!

P₄ + Cl₂ → PCl₃

First, let's balance Cl.

There are 2 on the left, and 3 on the right.

To balance this, let's put a coefficient of 3 in front of Cl₂ and a coefficient of 2 in front of PCl₃.

P₄ + 3Cl₂ → 2PCl₃

Now we have 6 on the left and 6 on the right.

Next, let's balance P.

There are 4 on the left and 2 on the right.

Let's change the coefficient in front of PCl₃ from 2 to 4.

P₄ + 3Cl₂ → 4PCl₃

There are now 4 P on each side.

However, now Cl is unbalanced, with 6 on the left and 12 on the right.

We can change the coefficient in front of Cl₂ from 3 to 6.

P₄ + 6Cl₂ → 4PCl₃

So now, we have 4 P on each side and 12 C on each side.

This is our final balanced equation.

Hope this helps!

a electronegativity decreases beacuse the size of nucleus is bigger.

it can be observed without changing the identity of the object.

it depends on what substance you're talking about as well as many other factors. in quantum mechanics, the observation of particles affects the observers ability to measure certain properties. for example: you can know the velocity of a particle, but you can't know it's position; or you can know it's position, but not it's velocity. it's like trying to find out where a grain of sand is by throwing other grains of sand at it. once you find out where it is, it's been moved. it's also like trying to find an answer to the question of whether or not a tree falling in a forest makes a sound if nobody is there to hear it. paradoxically, the only way to find out is to be there and hear it.
