  1. $P _{4}$,$PCl _{3}$,$H _{3}PO _{4}$

  2. $P _{4}$,$PCl _{5}$,$H _{3}PO _{3}$

  3. $P _{4}$,$PCl _{5}$,$POCl _{3}$

  4. $P _{4}$,$PCl _{3}$,$POCl _{3}$


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

A translucent white waxy solid (A) reacts with excess of chlorine to give a yellowish white powder (B). Here B is $PCl _5$.$PCl _5$ reacts with organic compounds containing -OH group converting them into chloro derivative $POCl _3. $.$PCl _5$ on hydrolysis gives (C).C is $POCl _3$ and is finally $POCl _3$ converted to phosphoric acid.

So  (A), (B) and (C) are $P _{4}$,$PCl _{5}$,$POCl _{3}$.

Hence option C is correct.

What is the oxidation state of Phosphorus in ${P}{Cl} _{3}$?

  1. ${+}{5}$

  2. ${+}{3}$

  3. ${+}{1}$

  4. ${-}{3}$


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

The oxidation state of ${P}$ in ${P}{Cl} _{3}$ is ${+3}$.
Each Chlorine atom has an oxidation number of ${-1}$. There are three chlorine atoms, hence the total oxidation number of the Chloride ions in ${-3}$. ${PCl} _{3}$ molecule is neutral. Hence the oxidation number of Phosphorus should be ${+3}$

What is the boiling point of ${PCl} _{3}$?

  1. ${-93.6}^{o}$ ${C}$

  2. ${169}^{o}$ ${C}$

  3. ${100}^{o}$ ${C}$

What is the hybridization of Phosphorus Trichloride?

  1. ${sp}^{3}$

  2. ${sp}^{2}$

  3. ${sp}$

  4. None of these


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

The hybridization of ${PCl} _{3}$ is ${sp}^{3}$. Phosphorus has five electrons in its outermost shell. Thus it forms three sigma bonds with three neighbouring Chlorine atoms. The remaining two electrons remain as a lone pair on Phosphorus atom. Thus these three sigma bonds and one lone pair, make this molecule ${sp}^{3}$ hybridized.

What kind of a molecule is ${P}{Cl} _{3}$?

  1. Ionic

  2. Polar covalent

  3. Non polar covalent

  4. none of these


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

$PCl _3$ is a polar covalent molecule. It is polar because chlorine atoms are more electronegative than phosphorus atom and hence the polartity of the molecule is towards Chlorine atoms.
It is covalent because, Phosphorus has ive electrons in its outermost shell. It requires three more to complete its octet. Each chlorine atom has seven electrons in their outermost shell, they all require one electron each to complete their octet. Thus both phosphorus and chlorine complete their octet by mutually sharing their electrons. Hence this molecule is polar covalent in nature.

What is produced as an impurity during the production of ${PCl} _{3}$:

  1. ${PCl} _{5}$

  2. ${POCl} _{3}$

  3. ${PSCl} _{3}$

  4. ${Cl} _{2}$


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

During the indusrial preparation of ${PCl} _{3}$, ${PCl} _{5}$ or Phosphorus Pentachloride is produced as an impurity. The balanced equation can be written as-
${PCl} _{3}$ ${+}$ ${Cl} _{2}$ ${=}$ ${PCl} _{5}$
Thus this impurity formation can be stopped by continual removal of ${PCl} _{3}$ as it is formed.

Aqueous solution of PBr$ _{3}$ conducts electricity due to the presence of:

  1. $\mathrm{HOBr}$

  2. $\mathrm{HBr}$

  3. $\mathrm{H} _{3}\mathrm{P}\mathrm{O} _{4}$

  4. $\mathrm{H} _{2}\mathrm{O}$


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

$PBr _{3}+3H _{2}O\ \to \ H _{3}PO _{4}+HBr$
HBr is covalent $H _{3}PO _{4}$ is ionic. Solution conducts electricity due to ions.
So aqueous solution of $PBr _{3}$ conducts electricity due to presence of $H _{3}PO _{4}$.

Phosphorus trichloride reacts violently with water forming phosphorous acid.

Option (A) is correct .

Choose the correct statement.

  1. White or yellow phosphorus is stored under water

  2. Ignition temperature of red phosphorus is low

  3. Black phosphorus is non crystalline in nature

  4. Phosphorus does not form hydrides


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Due to low ignition temperature of white phosphorus, it undergoes oxidation in presence of air which slowly raises its temperature and after a few moments it catches fire spontaneously. Due to this reason, it is stored under water. Ignition temperature ofred phosphorus is high Black phosphorus is crystalline in nature. Phosphorus forms a number of hydrides

  4. Soluble


Correct Option: D
Explanation:
like dissolve like. It means polar molecules dissolves in polar molecules and non-polar molecules.Molecules dissolves in non polar molecules $Water$ and $PCl _3$ both are polar molecules because of their shape and electronegative difference between $H$ and $O$ in water and $P$ and $Cl$ in $PCl _3$. Hence $PCl _3$ is solube in water.
