Phosphorus trichloride contains 22.5 7% of phosphorus first find contains 91.1 8% of phosphorus why hcl gas contains 97.2 3% of chlorine prove by calculation which law is illustrated by these data

i) In phosphorus chloride,P = 22.57 %, Cl = 77.43% ii) In phosphine, P = 91.18%, H = 8.82%begin mathsize 11px style 22.57 space parts space by space mass space of space straight P space combine space with space straight H space equals space fraction numerator 8.82 over denominator 91.18 end fraction space cross times space 22.57 space equals space 2.18 end styleThus, ratio of the masses of Cl and H which combine with fixed mass (22.57 parts) of phosphorus separately is,77.43: 2.18 or 35.5: 1 iii) In hydrogen chloride Cl = 97.26% H = 2.77% Thus, ratio of masses of Cl and H when they combine with each other is 97.26: 2.77 or 35.5: 1 iv) Ratio 1: Ratio 2 = begin mathsize 11px style Ratio space 1 colon space Ratio space 2 space equals fraction numerator 35.5 over denominator 1 end fraction space cross times space fraction numerator 1 over denominator 35.5 end fraction space equals space 1 space colon space 1 end styleThis shows a simple whole number ratio.
