Match the reactions (in the given stoichiometry of the reactants) in List-I with one of their products given in List-II and choose the correct option.
| List-I | List-II |
|---|---|
| (P) | (1) |
| (Q) | (2) |
| (R) | (3) |
| (S) | (4) |
| (5) |
Correct Answer :
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 () dissolves in cold water to form phosphorous acid ():
Thus, (P) matches with (2).
Reaction (Q):
White phosphorus () reacts with sodium hydroxide solution in an inert atmosphere to produce phosphine gas () and sodium hypophosphite ():
Thus, (Q) matches with (3).
Reaction (R):
Phosphorus pentachloride () reacts with acetic acid () to form acetyl chloride, phosphorus oxychloride (), and hydrogen chloride gas:
Thus, (R) matches with (4).
Reaction (S):
Hypophosphorous acid () acts as a strong reducing agent and reduces silver nitrate () to metallic silver, while itself getting oxidized to phosphoric acid ():
Thus, (S) matches with (5).
Combining all the correct pairs gives:
P → 2; Q → 3; R → 4; S → 5
