3) Solid phosphorus reacts with chlorine gas (Cl) to form solid phosphorus pentachloride. Write the balanced chemical equation for this chemical
reaction using the correct chemical formulas and include conditions (s, l, g, or
aq). Put your answer in the box below.

Write the balanced chemical equation and state what kind of chemical reaction this is.

Is there a diagram/picture you can provide? it seems this question goes along with a

Answerthe half-reaction having the greatest tendency to occur at the anode:     i₂(aq) + 2e⁻  ⇄ 2i⁻  ;   e = +0.53 v======oxidation occurs at the anode. we must therefore find the half-reaction with the greatest tendency to oxidize.the given values of e are reduction potentials (the form of the half-reactions are of reduction).the lower the reduction potential, the higher the potential to oxidize. the half-cell with the lowest reduction potential will have the greatest tendency to oxidize at the anode.the half-reaction having the greatest tendency must be    i₂(aq) + 2e⁻  ⇄ 2i⁻    e = +0.53 vbecause its reduction potential is the lowest out of the three.
