Question

Write balanced equations for the formation of $NC{l}_3$ and $PC{l}_3$. Given equations for hydrolysis reactions of $NC{l}_3$ and $PC{l}_3$.

Answer 1

The formation of NCl${}_3$ and PCl${}_3$:
$N{H}_3+3C{l}_2\left(\text{excess}\right)\to NC{l}_3+3HCl$
$P_4+6C{l}_2\to 4PC{l}_3$

The hydrolysis reactions of NCl${}_3$ and PCl${}_3$:
$NC{l}_3+3H_{2}O\to N{H}_3+3HOCl$
$PC{l}_3+3H_{2}O\to H_{3}P{O}_3+3HCl$
