Heating white phosphorus with conc. \(NaOH\) solution gives mainly:
- \(Na_3P\) and \(H_2O\)
- \(H_3PO\) and \(NaH\)
- \(P(OH)_3\) and \(NaH_2PO_4\)
- \(PH_3\) and \(NaH_2PO_2\)
The Correct Option is D
Solution and Explanation
Heating white phosphorus with concentrated \(NaOH\) solution results to the following reaction :
\(P_4(white) + NaOH → PH_3 + NaH_2PO_2 + H_2O\)
Hence, the correct option is (D): \(PH_3\) and \(NaH_2PO_2\)
