Answer» Correct Answer - B `P_(4)+3O_(2)overset`("In presence of"`N_(2))toP_(4)O_(6)`. "Here nitrogen acts as diluent". Note: "In dry" `O_(2)` "followintg reactions may take place". `P_(4)+3O_(2)to P_(4)O_(6)`. `P_(4)O_(6)to P_(4)2O_(2)to P_(4)O_(10)`. "In moist" `O_(2)` the `P_(4)O_(6)` "gets hydrolysed forming" `H_(3)PO_(3)`. `P_(4)O_(6)to 4H_(3)PO_(3)`. "In presence of NaOH". `P_(4)+3OH^(-)+3H_(2)O to PH_(3)+3H_(2)PO_(2)^(-)` |
