PCl5, PCl3 and water

in Inorganic Chemistry
Posted February 1, 2006

Sorry, I'm not 100% sure this an inorganic question, but I'm having a little problem understanding this.

Why does PCl5 + H20 --> H3PO4 + 5HCl

but PCl3 + H20 --> H3PO3 + 3HCl

Basically, why does PCl5 form phosphoric acid as opposed to forming phosphonic acid?

Thank you!
