Question

The correct statement(s) related to oxoacids of phosphorous is (are):

Options

• Upon heating H₃PO₃ undergoes disproportionation reaction to produce H₃PO₄ and PH₃.

• White H₃PO₃ can act as reducing agent, H₃PO₄ can not.

• H₃PO₃ is a monobasic acid.

• The H atom of P-H bond in H₃PO₃ is not ionizable in water.

Answer 1

Upon heating H₃PO₃ undergoes disproportionation reaction to produce H₃PO₄ and PH₃, white H₃PO₃ can act as reducing agent, H₃PO₄ can not and the H atom of P-H bond in H₃PO₃ is not ionizable in water.
