Oxidation state of P in H(4)P(2)O(5), H(...

Oxidation state of `P` in `H_(4)P_(2)O_(5), H_(4)P_(2)O_(6), H_(4)P_(2)O_(7)` are respectively

A

`+3, +4, +5`

B

`+3, +5, +5`

C

`+5, +3, +4`

D

`+5, +4, +3`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
Let the oxidation state of P in the given compounds be x.
`H_(4)P_(2)O_(5) , 2x + 4-10 =0`
`2x =6`
`x = +3`,
`H_(4)P_(2)O_(6), 2x + 4 -12=0`
`2x =8`
`x=+4`
`H_(4)P_(2)O_(7) : 2x + 4 -14=0`
`2x =10`
`x=+5`
