Question

You wish to know the enthalpy change for the formation of liquid PCl3 from the elements shown below.

P4(s) + 6 Cl2(g)  4 PCl3(l)      ΔH°f = ?

This reaction cannot be carried out directly. Instead, the enthalpy change for the reaction of phosphorus and chlorine to give phosphorus pentachloride can be determined experimentally.

P4(s) + 10 Cl2(g)  4 PCl5(s)      ΔH°rxn= -1774.0 kJ

The enthalpy change for the reaction of phosphorus trichloride with more chlorine to give phosphorus pentachloride can also be measured.

PCl3(l) + Cl2(g)  PCl5(s)      ΔH°rxn = -123.8 kJ

Use this to calculate the enthalpy change for the formation of 1.00 mol of PCl3(l) from phosphorus and chlorine.
