    Sodium pyrophosphate is represented by which of the following formula?

    A)  \[N{{a}_{2}}{{P}_{2}}{{O}_{4}}\]                              

    B)  \[N{{a}_{4}}{{P}_{2}}{{O}_{5}}\]              

    C)         \[N{{a}_{4}}{{P}_{2}}{{O}_{7}}\]              

    D)         \[N{{a}_{2}}{{P}_{2}}{{O}_{5}}\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    Sodium pyrophosphate is represented by\[N{{a}_{4}}{{P}_{2}}{{O}_{7}}\]. It is sodium salt of pyrophos-phoric acid \[({{H}_{4}}{{P}_{2}}{{O}_{7}}),\]which may be considered to be made up by two molecules of orthro phosphoric acid \[({{H}_{3}}P{{O}_{4}}),\]eliminating one molecule of\[{{H}_{2}}O\]. \[2{{H}_{3}}P{{O}_{4}}\xrightarrow{-{{H}_{2}}O}\underset{\text{Pyrophoshoric}\,\,\text{acid}}{\mathop{{{H}_{4}}{{P}_{2}}{{O}_{7}}}}\,\] \[\underset{\text{Sodium}\,\,\text{pyrophosphate}}{\mathop{O\leftarrow \underset{Na}{\overset{Na}{\mathop{\underset{|}{\overset{|}{\mathop{\underset{O}{\overset{O}{\mathop{\underset{|}{\overset{|}{\mathop{P}}}\,}}}\,}}}\,}}}\,--O--\underset{Na}{\overset{Na}{\mathop{\underset{|}{\overset{|}{\mathop{\underset{O}{\overset{O}{\mathop{\underset{|}{\overset{|}{\mathop{P}}}\,}}}\,}}}\,}}}\,\to O}}\,\]
