write balanced equation for reaction of PCl5 with H2O
PCl5 reacts differently with hot and cold water.
Upon contact with water it release hydrogen chloride and phosphorus oxychloride. The balanced chemical reaction is shown below:
PCl5 + H2O → POCl3 + 2HCl
In hot water, hydrolysis proceeds completely to ortho-phosphoric acid:
PCl5 + 4H2O → H3PO4 + 5HCl "
