Answer» Correct Answer - A,B (A) `PH_(3)` is a lewis base but is neutral towards red litmus. (B) It does not react with HCI(aq)or HI(aq). This is because water decomposes `PH_(4)`X formed to give back `PH_(3)`. (C ) It reacts only with anhydrous HCI or HBr. (D) `2Na_(3)P+3H_(2)SO_(4)to 3Na_(2)SO_(4)+2PH_(3)uarr, Ca_(3)P_(2)+6HCIto 3CaCI_(2)+2PH_(3)`. |
