In the reaction ${PCl}_{3} + {Cl}_{2} ⟶ {PCl}_{5}$ , which of the following is correct?

Options:

Answer:

Solution:

$\overset{+ 3}{P} {\overset{}{Cl}}_{3} + {\overset{0}{Cl}}_{2} ⟶ \overset{+ 5}{P} {\overset{}{Cl}}_{5}$

The oxidation state of $P$ changing from $(+ 3)$ to $(+ 5)$ i.e. increase in oxidation number by $+ 2$ So ${PCl}_{3}$ is oxidized and hence ${PCl}_{3}$ acts as a reductant.
