Can PCl3 act as an oxidising as well as reducing agent?

Can PCl 3   act as an oxidising as well as reducing agent? If yes, how? Illustrate with the help of equations. ANswer: Yes, PCl 3   can act both as an oxidising agent as well as reducing agent. It react with sulphur tri oxide to reduce it to sulphur di oxide. PCl 3   +SO 3   -------------> POCl 3   + SO 2 It also react with metals like silver and sodium to form their chlorides. PCl 3   + 6 Na ---------------> 3 NaCl +Na 3 P

How To Deal With Peer Pressure: 4 Simple, Proven Strategies

How To Deal With Peer Pressure: 4 Simple, Proven Strategies  Peer pressure is a tricky beast. It can force you to do things that are either good or bad for you, but it won’t let go until you do what it wants. It’s just like peer pressure to feel like you have to check Instagram every five seconds, or eat pizza for breakfast because your friends are doing it. It doesn’t take much to spark the feeling of peer pressure. The need for social acceptance is so strong that even the slightest hint will make people want to conform. Peer pressure can be very sneaky, but with this guide, you shouldn't have any issues! Understand the power of social influence    In a perfect world, we would never have to deal with peer pressure. Unfortunately, this is not the case. Your kid will eventually be exposed to peer pressure. When that happens, what can you do about it? The first thing to understand is that peer pressure is a real thing. As a society, we tend to scoff at peer pressure. However, resear

Show that all the bonds in PCl5 molecule are not equivalent.

 Show that all the bonds in PCl 5   molecule are not equivalent. Answer: Since Phosphorus penta chloride  breaks down into phosphorus trichloride and chlorine gas on heating which shows that out of five P-Cl bonds three are equitorial and tightly  bonded and two are axial and weak  bonds.
