Question

Which of the following is incorrect about H-4P-2O-5-It contains P in -5 oxidation stateIt is dibasic acidIt is strongly reducing in natureIt contains one P-O-P bond

Toppr Admin · Accepted Answer

For oxidation of P in H4P2O5-1-xD7-4-x-xD7-2-x2212-2-xD7-5-0x-3So- oxidation state of P is -3-xA0-So- correct answer is option A-

Which of the following is incorrect about H4P2O5?It contains P in +5 oxidation stateIt is dibasic acidIt is strongly reducing in natureIt contains one P−O−P bond

For oxidation of P in H4P2O5,(+1)×4+(x)×2+(−2)×5=0x=+3So, oxidation state of P is +3. So, correct answer is option A.

Which of the following is incorrect about $H_{4} P_{2} O_{5}$ ?

It contains $P$ in $+ 5$ oxidation state
It is dibasic acid
It is strongly reducing in nature
It contains one $P - O - P$ bond

For oxidation of $P$ in $H_{4} P_{2} O_{5}$ ,
$(+ 1) \times 4 + (x) \times 2 + (- 2) \times 5 = 0 x = + 3$
So, oxidation state of $P$ is +3.
So, correct answer is option A.
