Current Question (ID: 10609)

Question:

$\text{PCl}_5 \text{ acts as}$

Options:

1. $\text{Reducing agent}$
2. $\text{Oxidising agent}$ (Correct)
3. $\text{Dehydrating Agent}$
4. $\text{None of the above.}$

Solution:

$\text{HINT: Maximum oxidation state phosphorus show is +5.}$ $\text{Explanation:}$ $\text{PCl}_5 \text{ can only act as an oxidizing agent. The highest oxidation state that P can show is +5. In } \text{PCl}_5\text{, phosphorus is in its highest oxidation state (+5).}$ $\text{However, it can decrease its oxidation state and act as an oxidizing agent.}$ $\text{The reaction is as follows:}$ $2\text{Ag} + \text{PCl}_5 \rightarrow 2\text{AgCl} + \text{PCl}_3$ $\text{Here, the oxidation state of Ag changes from 0 to +1 and } \text{PCl}_5 \text{ acts as an oxidizing agent.}$
