The Correct Option is D

Solution and Explanation

To solve this problem, we need to match each reaction in List-I with one of their products from List-II based on chemical knowledge. 

The reactions are identified by specific chemical behaviors and properties:

  1. (P) P2O3 + 3H2O →
    P2O3 is phosphorus(III) oxide, which reacts with water to form phosphorous acid. Thus, the product is H3PO3 (Phosphorous acid) corresponding to List-II's option (2).
  2. (Q) P4 + 3NaOH + 3H2O →
    This reaction is characteristic of white phosphorus reacting with a base (NaOH) and water to produce phosphine gas (PH3) and sodium hypophosphite. Therefore, the product matches PH3, which corresponds to List-II's option (3).
  3. (R) PCl5 + CH3COOH →
    Phosphorus pentachloride reacts with acetic acid to form acetyl chloride and Phosphorus oxychloride (POCl3), corresponding to List-II's option (4).
  4. (S) H3PO2 + 2H2O + 4AgNO3
    Hypophosphorous acid (H3PO2) in presence of water and silver nitrate yields phosphoric acid along with silver and nitric acid. The product is H3PO4 (Phosphoric acid), corresponding to List-II's option (5).

Hence, the correct matching is:

  • P → 2
  • Q → 3
  • R → 4
  • S → 5

Concepts Used:

Stoichiometry

Stoichiometry is founded on the law of conservation of mass where the total mass of the reactants equals the total mass of the products, leading to the insight that the relations among quantities of reactants and products typically form a ratio of positive integers. This means that if the amounts of the separate reactants are known, then the amount of the product can be calculated. Conversely, if one reactant has a known quantity and the quantity of the products can be empirically determined, then the amount of the other reactants can also be calculated.

Stoichiometry helps us determine how much substance is needed or is present. Things that can be measured are;

  1. Reactants and Products mass
  2. Molecular weight
  3. Chemical equations
  4. Formulas

​​Stoichiometric Coefficient

The Stoichiometric coefficient of any given component is the number of molecules and/or formula units that participate in the reaction as written.

Mole Ratios

The mass of one mole of a substance in grams is called molar mass. The molar mass of one mole of a substance is numerically equal to the atomic/molecular formula mass.
