In an organic compound phosphorus is estimated as

  1. A \(\mathrm{Mg}_3\left(\mathrm{PO}_4\right)_2\)
  2. B \(\mathrm{P}_2 \mathrm{O}_5\)
  3. C \(\mathrm{Mg}_2 \mathrm{P}_2 \mathrm{O}_7\)
  4. D \(\mathrm{H}_3 \mathrm{PO}_4\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(\mathrm{Mg}_2 \mathrm{P}_2 \mathrm{O}_7\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

In organic compound, phosphorus can be estimate by precipitating it as \(\mathrm{MgNH}_4 \mathrm{PO}_4\), by adding magnesia mixture. On ignition of precipitate, it yields \(\mathrm{Mg}_2 \mathrm{P}_2 \mathrm{O}_7\).
