Elemental phosphorus reacts with chlorine gas according to the equation \( \mathrm{P}_{4}(\mathrm{~s})+6 \mathrm{Cl}_{2}(\mathrm{~g}) \rightarrow 4 \mathrm{PCl}_{3}(\mathrm{l}) \) A reaction mixture initially contains \( 45.11 \mathrm{~g} \mathrm{P}_{4} \) and \( 130.1 \mathrm{~g} \mathrm{Cl}_{2} \). Once the reaction has reached completion, what mass (in \( \mathrm{g} \) ) of the excess reactant is left? Express the mass in grams to three significant figures. View Available Hint(s)
