Phosphorus Pentachloride or (PCl5) is a yellowish-white crystalline solid with a pungent odor. It is highly reactive, especially with water, releasing hydrochloric acid and phosphoric acid upon decomposition. It is primarily used as a chlorinating agent in organic synthesis and in the manufacture of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals.
