The correct Answer is:
To determine which acid can reduce AgNO3 to Ag, we need to analyze the given acids and their reducing properties. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Acids**: The acids provided are: - H3PO2 (Phosphorous acid) - H3PO4 (Phosphoric acid) - H4P2O7 (Pyrophosphoric acid) - H3PO3 (Phosphorous acid) 2. **Understand the Reducing Agents**: A reducing agent is a substance that donates electrons to another substance, reducing it while itself getting oxidized. Among the given acids, we need to identify which one has strong reducing properties. 3. **Analyze Each Acid**: - **H3PO2**: This is a known reducing agent, but it's not as strong as H3PO3. - **H3PO4**: This is a strong acid but does not act as a reducing agent. - **H4P2O7**: This is a derivative of phosphoric acid and does not exhibit reducing properties. - **H3PO3**: This is a well-known reducing agent and can reduce AgNO3 to Ag. 4. **Chemical Reaction**: The reaction can be represented as: \[ 3AgNO_3 + H_3PO_3 + 3H_2O \rightarrow 3Ag + 3HNO_3 + H_3PO_4 \] In this reaction, H3PO3 donates electrons to AgNO3, reducing it to metallic silver (Ag). 5. **Conclusion**: The acid that reduces AgNO3 to Ag is H3PO3 (Phosphorous acid). ### Final Answer: The correct answer is **H3PO3**.
