  1. A \(P _4 O _6\) and \(H _3 PO _3\)
  2. B \(PCl _3\) and \(H _3 PO _3\)
  3. C \(PCl _5\) and \(H _3 PO _4\)
  4. D \(POCl _3\) and \(H _3 PO _4\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(PCl _3\) and \(H _3 PO _3\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(P _4+8 SOCl _2 \rightarrow 4 PCl _3+4 SO _2+2 S _2 Cl _2\) \(PCl _3+3 H _2 O \rightarrow H _3 PO _3+3 HCl\)
