Answer:

The Correct Answer is Option (b): X-4,Y-1,Z-5

Explanation:

The given reaction is Phosphoric Acid + Hydrogen Chloride = Phosphorus Pentachloride + Water

Phosphoric acid is a weak acid having the chemical formula H3PO4 and is also known as orthophosphoric acid or phosphoric(V) acid.

P-Cl bonds are covalent bonds created by the sharing of electrons between P and Cl. PCl5 P C l 5 is thus a molecular molecule.

After Balancing the Equation we get after balancing is ,

PCl_{5} + 4H_{2}O => H_{3}PO_{4} + 5HCl

The value of X is 4, Y is 1 and Z is 5.
