Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) Pyrophosphoric acid contains two \(\mathrm{P}-\mathrm{H}\) bonds

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

In pyrophosphoric acid \(\left(\mathrm{H}_4 \mathrm{P}_2 \mathrm{O}_7\right)\), the phosphorus is bonded in tetrahedral manner with four \(s p^3\) bonds. It has +5 oxidation state and it has four \(\mathrm{P}-\mathrm{OH}\) bonds, two \(\mathrm{P}=\mathrm{O}\) bonds and one…
