The reaction of white phosphorus with aq...

The reaction of white phosphorus with aqueous `NaOH` gives phosphine along with another phosphorus containing compound. The reacation type, the oxidation states of phosphorus in phosphine and the other product are respectvely:

A

redox reaction , -3 and -5

B

redox reaction , +3 and +5

C

disproportionation reaction , -3 and -5

D

disproportionation reaction , -3 and +1

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
`overset(0)P_(4)+3NaOH+3H_(2)Oto3NaH_(2)overset(+1)(PO_(2))+overset(-3)(PH_(3))`
It is a disproportionation reaction. In this reaction, oxidation state of P increases from 0 in `P_(4)" to "+1` in `NaH_(2)PO_(2)` and decreases from 0 in `P_(4)" to "-3" in "PH_(3)`.
