To balance the chemical equation, we need to ensure that the number of atoms of each element is the same on both sides of the equation.Given equation: Let's start by balancing the chlorine (Cl) atoms. There are 5 chlorine atoms in , so we need 5 chlorine atoms on the product side. This means we need 5 molecules of .Now, let's balance the hydrogen (H) atoms. There are 5 chlorine atoms in , so we have a total of 5 hydrogen atoms on the product side. To balance the hydrogen atoms, we need 5 molecules of on the reactant side.Finally, let's balance the phosphorus (P) atoms. There is 1 phosphorus atom in and 1 phosphorus atom in . So, the phosphorus atoms are already balanced.Now, let's rewrite the balanced equation: Therefore, the coefficients needed to balance the equation are 1, 5, 5, and 1.
