The reaction of `P4` with `X` leads selectively to `P_4 O_6. X` is

A

dry `O_2`

B

A mixture of `O_2` and `N_2`

C

Moist `O_2`

D

`O_2` in presence of aqueous `NaOH`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
`P_4 + 3O_2 overset (N_2) rarr P_4 O_6`
`N_2` retards further oxidation of `P_4 O_6`.
