    What is formed, when cone. \[HN{{O}_{3}}\]reacts with phosphorus?

    A)  \[HP{{O}_{3}}\]                               

    B)  \[{{H}_{3}}P{{O}_{3}}\]

    C)         \[{{H}_{3}}P{{O}_{4}}\]

    D)         \[P{{H}_{3}}\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

                    Cone. \[HN{{O}_{3}}\] oxidizes non-metals (C, P, I etc.) into their oxyacids. Hence, phosphorus is oxidised to orthophosphoric acid, when treated with cone. \[HN{{O}_{3}}\]. \[P+5HN{{O}_{3}}\,\,\,\,\xrightarrow{{}}\underset{\begin{smallmatrix}  \text{Orthophoshoric} \\  \,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\text{acid} \end{smallmatrix}}{\mathop{{{H}_{3}}P{{O}_{4}}}}\,+5N{{O}_{2}}+{{H}_{2}}O\]
