#P + Cl_2 -> PCl_3# is what type of reaction?
Both a redox (oxidation-reduction reaction) and a synthesis reaction
This type of reaction, where there is only one product formed from two or more reactants, is called a synthesis reaction (the word synthesis meaning creation or production).
Not only is this a synthesis reaction, but this can also be classified as an oxidation-redcution reaction (commonly shortened to "redox"). An oxidation-reduction reaction is one in which at least one substance is oxidized (they lost electrons to increase their oxidation state) and at least one other substance is reduced (they gained electrons to decrease their oxidation state).

When evaluating a one-sided limit, you need to be careful when a quantity is approaching zero since its sign is different depending on which way it is approaching zero from. Let us look at some examples.
