    \[NaOH+{{P}_{4}}+{{H}_{2}}O\xrightarrow{{}}\]

    A) \[P{{H}_{3}}+Na{{H}_{2}}P{{O}_{2}}\]    

    B) \[P{{H}_{3}}+N{{a}_{2}}P{{O}_{4}}\]

    C) \[P{{H}_{3}}+N{{a}_{2}}HP{{O}_{2}}\]    

    D) \[{{H}_{3}}P{{O}_{4}}+NaO\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    White phosphorus, when heated with caustic alkali solution in an inert atmosphere phosphine is liberated \[\underset{\begin{smallmatrix}  \,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,white \\  phosphorus \end{smallmatrix}}{\mathop{{{P}_{4}}}}\,+\underset{\begin{smallmatrix}  \,\,\,sodium \\  hydroxide \end{smallmatrix}}{\mathop{3NaOH}}\,+3{{H}_{2}}O\xrightarrow{\Delta /inert\,\,atmosphere}\]\[\underset{phosphine}{\mathop{P{{H}_{3}}}}\,+\underset{\begin{smallmatrix}  Pot. \\  hyposphosphite \end{smallmatrix}}{\mathop{3Na{{H}_{2}}P{{O}_{2}}}}\,\]
