The reaction of `P_(4)` with X leads selectively to `P_(4)O_(6)` The X is :A. dry `O_2`B. a mixture of `O_2` and `N_2`C. moist `O_2`D. `O_2` in the presence of aqueous NaOH |

Answer» Correct Answer - B `P_4+3O_2 to P_4O_6` Nitrogen prevents further oxidation of `P_4O_6` to `P_4O_10` `P_4` when treated with dry `O_2` gives `P_4O_6` and finally `P_4O_10`. With moist oxygen , `P_4` gives `H_3PO_3`. `P_4 + 3NaOH + 3H_2O to 3NaH_2PO_2 + PH_3` |
