    On reaction with Cig, phosphorus forms two types of halides A and B. Halide A is yellowish white powder, but halide B is colourless oily liquid. Which of the following is/are their hydrolysis products?
    (I) \[{{H}_{3}}P{{O}_{2}}\] (II) \[{{H}_{3}}P{{O}_{3}}\]
    (III) \[{{H}_{3}}P{{O}_{4}}\] (IV) \[{{H}_{3}}P{{O}_{4}}\]

    A) I and II             

    B) II and III

    C) III and IV                      

    D) I and IV

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    [b]
    On reaction with \[C{{l}_{2}},\] phosphorus forms two halides \[PC{{l}_{5}}(A)\]which is yellowish powder and \[PC{{l}_{3}}(B)\]is colourless oil liquid.
    ?A? is \[PC{{l}_{5}}\] and \['B'\]is \[PC{{l}_{3}}.\]
    \[{{P}_{4}}+10C{{l}_{2}}\xrightarrow{{}}4PC{{l}_{5}}.\]
    \[{{P}_{4}}+6C{{l}_{2}}\xrightarrow{{}}4PC{{l}_{3}}\]
    When 'A' and 'B' are hydrolysed.
    [a] \[\underset{\begin{smallmatrix}  [A] \\  \text{Phosphorus}  \\  \text{pentachloride} \end{smallmatrix}}{\mathop{PC{{l}_{5}}}}\,+4{{H}_{2}}O\xrightarrow{{}}\underset{\begin{smallmatrix}  \text{Phosphoric} \\  \text{acid} \end{smallmatrix}}{\mathop{{{H}_{3}}P{{O}_{4}}}}\,+5HCl\]
    [b] \[\underset{\begin{smallmatrix}  [B] \\  \text{Phosphous}  \\  \text{trichloride} \end{smallmatrix}}{\mathop{PC{{l}_{5}}}}\,+3{{H}_{2}}O\xrightarrow{{}}\underset{\begin{smallmatrix}  \text{Phosphoride} \\  \text{acid} \end{smallmatrix}}{\mathop{{{H}_{3}}P{{O}_{4}}}}\,+3HCl\]
