Observe the following stoichiometric equation
\(\mathrm{P}_4+3 \mathrm{OH}^{-}+3 \mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O} \rightarrow \mathrm{PH}_3+3 x^{-}\)
What is the conjugate acid of \(x^{-}\)?

  1. A Phosphorous acid
  2. B Hypophosphorous acid
  3. C Phosphoric acid
  4. D Pyrophosphoric acid
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) Hypophosphorous acid

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Balanced stoichiometric equation is: \(\mathrm{P}_4+3 \mathrm{OH}^{-}+3 \mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O} \longrightarrow \mathrm{PH}_3+3 \mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{PO}_2^{-}\) conjugate of \(\mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{PO}_2^{-}\)is \(\mathrm{H}_3 \mathrm{PO}_2\). \(\mathrm{H}_3 \mathrm{PO}_2\) is…
