    \[{{\text{P}}_{\text{4}}}{{\text{O}}_{\text{10}}}\]is not used with to dry \[\text{N}{{\text{H}}_{\text{3}}}\]gas because:

    A)  \[{{\text{P}}_{\text{4}}}{{\text{O}}_{\text{10}}}\]is basic and \[\text{N}{{\text{H}}_{3}}\]is acidic

    B)  \[{{\text{P}}_{\text{4}}}{{\text{O}}_{\text{10}}}\]is acidic and\[\text{N}{{\text{H}}_{3}}\] is basic

    C)  \[{{\text{P}}_{\text{4}}}{{\text{O}}_{\text{10}}}\]is not a drying agent

    D)  \[{{\text{P}}_{\text{4}}}{{\text{O}}_{\text{10}}}\] reacts with moisture in\[\text{N}{{\text{H}}_{\text{3}}}\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    \[{{\text{P}}_{\text{4}}}{{\text{H}}_{\text{10}}}\]is not used to dry \[\text{N}{{\text{H}}_{\text{3}}}\]gas because\[{{\text{P}}_{\text{4}}}{{\text{H}}_{\text{10}}}\] is acidic and \[\text{N}{{\text{H}}_{3}}\]is basic in nature.
