The reaction of P(4) with X leads select...

The reaction of `P_(4)` with X leads selectively to `P_(4)O_(6)` The X is :

A

dry `O_(2)`

B

moist `O_(2)`

C

mixture of `O_(2)" and "N_(2)`

D

`O_(2)` in the presence of aqueous NaOH

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C

The reaction of `P_(4)` and X leads selectively to `P_(4)O_(6)` because `N_(2)` prevents the further reaction of `P_(4)O_(6)` into `P_(4)O_(10)` .
