Answer : The mole ratio of [tex]PCl_3[/tex] to [tex]PCl_5[/tex] is 1 : 1.
Explanation :
Balanced chemical reaction : It is a chemical reaction in which the number of atoms of individual elements present on reactant side must be equal to the product side.
The balanced chemical reaction is:
[tex]PCl_3+Cl_2\rightarrow PCl_5[/tex]
By the stoichiometry of the reaction we can say that 1 mole of [tex]PCl_3[/tex] reacts with 1 mole of [tex]Cl_2[/tex] to give 1 mole of [tex]PCl_5[/tex].
From this we conclude that the mole ratio of [tex]PCl_3[/tex] to [tex]PCl_5[/tex] is 1 : 1.
Hence, the mole ratio of [tex]PCl_3[/tex] to [tex]PCl_5[/tex] is 1 : 1.
