**Reaction of Phosphorus and Chlorine**

Solid phosphorus (\(P\)) and chlorine (\(Cl_2\)) gas react to form solid phosphorus pentachloride (\(PCl_5\)). Suppose you have 7.0 mol of \(P\) and 2.0 mol of \(Cl_2\) in a reactor.

**Problem Statement:**

Suppose as much as possible of the \(P\) reacts. How much will be left? Round your answer to the nearest 0.1 mol.

*Input Box:*

- A field to enter the answer in moles.

*Buttons:*

- Explanation
- Check

*Additional Information:*

This is a limiting reagent problem where you are asked to determine the amount of phosphorus left after the reaction. Use stoichiometric calculations to solve for the limiting reagent and the remaining \(P\).
