Question

hexacloruro de trifosfato (p y cl) *

Explanation:

To determine the chemical formula for hexacloruro de trifosfato (with P and Cl), we analyze the prefixes:

• "Tri" in "trifosfato" means 3, so there are 3 P (phosphorus) atoms.
• "Hexa" in "hexacloruro" means 6, so there are 6 Cl (chlorine) atoms.

The chemical formula is constructed by combining these: \( \text{P}_3\text{Cl}_6 \) (or it can also be simplified as \( \text{PCl}_2 \) by dividing subscripts by 3, but the molecular formula based on the prefixes is \( \text{P}_3\text{Cl}_6 \)).

Answer:

\( \boldsymbol{\text{P}_3\text{Cl}_6} \) (or \( \text{PCl}_2 \) if simplified, but the formula from prefixes is \( \text{P}_3\text{Cl}_6 \))
