PCl5 is a greenish to yellow crystalline, with pungent, irritating odor. Its melting point is 147.78 ̊C (298.004 ̊F), boiling point 160 ̊C (320 ̊F), density 2.1 g/cm3. PCl5 is toxic, corrosive, may cause nausea, headache, dizziness and serious injury..
Example Reactions:
• PCl3 + Cl2 = PCl5
• H3PO4 + 5HCl = PCl5 + 4H2O
• PCl5 + H2O = POCl3 + 2HCl
• PCl5 + SO2 = POCl3 + SOCl2
• PCl5 + C2H5OH = C2H5Cl + HCl + POCl3
• 2CH4O + PCl5 = 2CH3Cl + POCl3 + H2O
