  • question_answer
    \[{{P}_{2}}{{H}_{4}}\] can be removed from phosphme containing traces of it

    A) by passing impure \[P{{H}_{3}}\] gas through a freezing mixture.

    B) by passing the impure \[P{{H}_{3}}\] gas through HI and then its treatment with KOH (aq).

    C) by both [a] and [b]

    D) by none of these.

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    [c] Both the methods [a] and [b] can be used. When passed through freezing mixture the \[{{P}_{2}}{{H}_{4}}\] present condenses and pure \[P{{H}_{3}}\] is obtained. When passed through HI, \[P{{H}_{3}}\] is absorbed forming \[P{{H}_{4}}I.P{{H}_{4}}I\] when treated with \[KOH\left( aq \right)\] yields pure phosphine. \[P{{H}_{3}}+HI\xrightarrow{{}}P{{H}_{4}}I\] \[P{{H}_{4}}I+KOH\left( aq \right)\xrightarrow{{}}KI+{{H}_{2}}O+P{{H}_{3}}\uparrow \]
