This formula equation is unbalanced. p4(s) + cl2(g) mc030-1.jpg pcl3(l) which coefficient should be placed in front of pcl3 to balance this equation?

To balance a chemical reaction, we need to remember that the number of each atom in the reactant and the product side of the equation should be equal. So, from the reaction P4(s) + Cl2(g) = PCl3(l), there are 4 P atoms in the reactant, the P atoms in the prodcut side should be 4 as well. We balance as follows:

 P4(s) + 6Cl2(g) = 4PCl3(l)

Therefore, the coefficient of the PCl3 should be 4.

This is what i found on google “when one phosphate group is removed by breaking a phosphoanhydride bond in a process called hydrolysis, energy is released, and atp is converted to adenosine diphosphate (adp). likewise, energy is also released when a phosphate is removed from adp to form adenosine monophosphate (amp).” i hope this you .

It changes food into energy that the organism can use.
