Formula: ICl3
ICl3
iodine trichloride
Phosphorus trichloride is represented by the formula PCl3.
iodine reacts with chlorine gas produces iodine trichloride I + Cl2 -->ICl3 now you have to balance the equation and you get: 2I + 3Cl2--> 2ICl3 Note: iodine trichloride is a molecular compound and that is why they used a prefix on the chloride. Therefore iodine trichloride just means 1 iodine and 3 chlorines resulting in ICl3. Also because chlorine is a diatomic element it needs to have a subscript of 2.

PCl3 is the formula. This is the compound we know as phosphorus trichloride.
PCl3 is the chemical formula for phosphorous trichloride.
My book says that there is no such compound. Any-one else? I'm pretty sure nitrogen trichloride is NCL3.
