The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem of matching the oxyacids of phosphorus with their respective starting materials for preparation, we will analyze each oxyacid and determine the correct starting material. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Oxyacids and Their Formulas:** - A: H₃PO₂ (Phosphorous acid) - B: H₃PO₃ (Phosphoric acid) - C: H₃PO₄ (Phosphoric acid) - D: H₄P₂O₆ (Hypophosphorous acid) 2. **Analyze the Starting Materials:** - (i) Red P + alkali - (ii) P₄O₁₀ + H₂O - (iii) P₂O₃ + H₂O - (iv) White P + alkali 3. **Match Each Oxyacid with Its Preparation:** - **For H₃PO₂ (A):** - H₃PO₂ can be prepared from white phosphorus (P) reacting with an alkali. - Therefore, A matches with (iv) White P + alkali. - **For H₃PO₃ (B):** - H₃PO₃ can be prepared from P₂O₃ reacting with water (H₂O). - Therefore, B matches with (iii) P₂O₃ + H₂O. - **For H₃PO₄ (C):** - H₃PO₄ can be prepared from P₄O₁₀ reacting with water (H₂O). - Therefore, C matches with (ii) P₄O₁₀ + H₂O. - **For H₄P₂O₆ (D):** - H₄P₂O₆ can be prepared from red phosphorus reacting with an alkali. - Therefore, D matches with (i) Red P + alkali. 4. **Final Matching:** - A → (iv) White P + alkali - B → (iii) P₂O₃ + H₂O - C → (ii) P₄O₁₀ + H₂O - D → (i) Red P + alkali ### Conclusion: The correct matches are: - A: (iv) - B: (iii) - C: (ii) - D: (i) Thus, the answer is **A → (iv), B → (iii), C → (ii), D → (i)**.
