Answer the question on the basis of passage given below :
There are some deposits of nitrates and phosphates in the earth’s crust. Nitrates are more soluble in water. Nitrates are difficult to reduce under laboratory conditions, but microbes do it easily. Ammonia forms a large number of complexes with transition metals. Hybridisation easily explains the ease of sigma donation capability of NH₃ and PH₃. Phosphine is an inflammable gas, prepared from white phosphorus.
\(P H _3\) is a better reducing agent than \(NH _3\) because :
- A \(PH _3\) can give its lone pair of electrons easily
- B Bond dissociation enthalpy of P-H is low
- C Bond dissociation enthalpy of P-H is high
- D PH₃ is tetrahedral in shape
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(B) Bond dissociation enthalpy of P-H is low
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
The reducing character of hydrides of Group 15 elements increases down the group from \\(NH _3\\) to \\(BiH _3\\). This is due to the decrease in the bond dissociation enthalpy of the E-H bond down the group. Weaker P-H bonds in \\(PH _3\\) compared to N-H bonds in \\(NH _3\\)…

Alcohols are versatile compounds as they can act as both nucleophile and electrophile. They undergo reactions based on cleavage of \(\mathrm{O}-\mathrm{H}\) and \(\mathrm{C}-\mathrm{O}\) bonds. The cleavage of \(\mathrm{O}-\mathrm{H}\) bond reflects the acidic character of alcohols. However they are weaker acids than water, phenol and carboxylic acids. Alkoxide ion formed by loss of proton from the OH group of alcohols reacts with water to form the corresponding conjugate acid - base pair. They act as Bronsted base due to presence of unshared electron pairs on oxygen.Both alcohols and phenol react with carboxylic acids, acid chlorides and anhydrides to form esters. The introduction of acetyl group in alcohols or phenol is known as acetylation. Alcohols react with hydrogen halides to form alkyl halides which form the basis of Lucas test. They also undergo acid catalyzed dehydration to form alkenes. Alcohols can be easily oxidized with variety of oxidizing agents. The nature of the product depends on the type of oxidizing agent and the nature of alcohol.
