Question

The pair that contains two P–H bonds in each of the oxoacids is:

Options
  1. a

    H3PO3\mathrm{H_3PO_3} and H3PO2\mathrm{H_3PO_2}

  2. b

    H4P2O5\mathrm{H_4P_2O_5} and H3PO3\mathrm{H_3PO_3}

  3. c

    H4P2O5\mathrm{H_4P_2O_5} and H4P2O6\mathrm{H_4P_2O_6}

  4. d

    H3PO2\mathrm{H_3PO_2} and H4P2O5\mathrm{H_4P_2O_5}

Correct Answerd

H3PO2\mathrm{H_3PO_2} and H4P2O5\mathrm{H_4P_2O_5}

Detailed Solution

Strategy: Identify the standard laboratory method for producing high-purity nitrogen gas.

Step 1: Thermal Decomposition Thermal decomposition of azides yields very pure nitrogen:

  • \ceBa(N3)2ΔBa+3N2\ce{Ba(N3)2 \xrightarrow{\Delta} Ba + 3N2}
  • \ceNaN3Δ2Na+3N2\ce{NaN3 \xrightarrow{\Delta} 2Na + 3N2} Methods like \ceNH4Cl+NaNO2\ce{NH4Cl + NaNO2} or \ce(NH4)2Cr2O7\ce{(NH4)2Cr2O7} decomposition also yield \ceN2\ce{N2} but contain impurities like \ceNO\ce{NO} or \ceHNO3\ce{HNO3}.

Step 2: Selection The extraction from azides remains the most effective way to obtain spectroscopic/pure nitrogen.
