Phosphorus pentachloride hydrolysis
Phosphorus pentachloride hydrolysis. Spatula of phosphorus pentachloride (PCl5) being added to a petri dish of water (H2O). A reaction with water is called a hydrolysis reaction. The products of the reaction are phosphoric acid (H3PO4) and hydrochloric acid (HCl). The reaction equation is: PCl5 + 4.H2O -----> H3PO4 + 5.HCl

EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from Science Photo Library, we witness the fascinating process of phosphorus pentachloride hydrolysis. The image showcases a laboratory experiment where a spatula delicately adds phosphorus pentachloride (PCl5) to a petri dish filled with water (H2O). As the two substances come into contact, an intriguing reaction takes place known as hydrolysis. The outcome of this chemical transformation is depicted in the equation PCl5 + 4. H2O -----> H3PO4 + 5. HCl. Through hydrolysis, phosphoric acid (H3PO4) and hydrochloric acid (HCl) are formed as products. This visually striking photograph captures both the equipment used in the experiment and the vaporous fumes released during the reaction. The scene exudes an air of scientific exploration, with its meticulously arranged apparatus and controlled environment within a laboratory setting. It serves as a reminder of humanity's continuous quest for knowledge through experimentation and observation. This particular image offers insight into inorganic chemistry, showcasing how different compounds can undergo transformations when exposed to specific conditions. The vibrant colors produced by these reactions add an artistic element to this scientific endeavor. Science Photo Library has once again captured an awe-inspiring moment that highlights both the beauty and complexity found within our world of chemicals and reactions.
