`P_(4)O_(10)` is not used to dry `NH_(3)` gas because

A

`P_(4)O_(10)` is not a drying agent

B

`P_(4)O_(10)` reacts with moisture in `NH_(3)`

C

`P_(4)O_(10)` is basic and `NH_(3)` is acidic

D

none of these

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
`P_(4)O_(10)` being acidic & `NH_(3)` is basic, so they react with each other in presence of moisture giving ammonium phosphate. Hence `P_(4)O_(10)` can't be used for drying of `NH_(3)`
`P_(4)O_(10) + 12NH_(3) + 6H_(2)O rarr 4(NH_(4))_(3) PO_(4)`
