Question
By the action of hot concentrated $\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{SO}_{4}$, phosphorous changes to(a) Phosphorous acid(b) Orthophosphoric acid(c) Metaphosphoric acid(d) Pyrophosphoric acid
Step 1
Step 1: The reaction of phosphorus with hot concentrated sulfuric acid can be represented as follows: \[ P_{4} + 10H_{2}SO_{4} \rightarrow 4H_{3}PO_{4} + 10SO_{2} \] Show more…
