Detailed Solution
A) P-Claxial bond is longer than P-Clequatorial bond in PCl5g molecule. Axial bonds experience more repulsions than equatorial bonds.B) Hybridization of Phosphorous in PCl5(s) is sp3 and sp3d2. Solid PCl5 exists as PCl4+PCl6- In PCl4+ the hybridization of ‘P’ is sp3 and in PCl6-it is sp3d2.C) POCl3 is the intermediate formed in the hydrolysis of PCl5.PCl5+H2O →POCl3+2HCl ; POCl3+3H2O →H3PO4+3HCl ; D) PCl5 oxidizes Ag to AgCl at itself gets reduced to PCl3.
