Correct Answer :

Option D

P → 2; Q → 3; R → 4; S → 5

Solution :

The correct option is P → 2; Q → 3; R → 4; S → 5.

Let us analyze each reaction in List-I step-by-step to identify the corresponding product in List-II:

Reaction (P):

Phosphorus trioxide (P2O3) dissolves in cold water to form phosphorous acid (H3PO3):

P2 O3 + 3 H2 O 2 H3 PO3

Thus, (P) matches with (2).

Reaction (Q):

White phosphorus (P4) reacts with sodium hydroxide solution in an inert atmosphere to produce phosphine gas (PH3) and sodium hypophosphite (NaH2PO2):

P4 + 3 NaOH + 3 H2 O PH3 + 3 NaH2 PO2

Thus, (Q) matches with (3).

Reaction (R):

Phosphorus pentachloride (PCl5) reacts with acetic acid (CH3COOH) to form acetyl chloride, phosphorus oxychloride (POCl3), and hydrogen chloride gas:

PCl5 + CH3 COOH CH3 COCl + POCl3 + HCl

Thus, (R) matches with (4).

Reaction (S):

Hypophosphorous acid (H3PO2) acts as a strong reducing agent and reduces silver nitrate (AgNO3) to metallic silver, while itself getting oxidized to phosphoric acid (H3PO4):

H3 PO2 + 2 H2 O + 4 AgNO3 4 Ag + 4 HNO3 + H3 PO4

Thus, (S) matches with (5).

Combining all the correct pairs gives:
P → 2; Q → 3; R → 4; S → 5
