Q49 / 180 · KCET 2014 · Chemistry

The statement that is NOT correct is

  • A
    In solid state \( \mathrm{PCl}_{5} \) exists as \( \left[\mathrm{PCl}_{4}\right]^{+}\left[\mathrm{PCl}_{6}\right] \)
  • Correct answer
    B
    Phosphorous acid on heating disproportionate to give meta phosphoric acid and
    phosphine.
  • C
    Hypo-phosphorous acid reduces silver nitrate to silver.
  • D
    Pure phosphine is non-inflammable,

Solution

Phosphorous acid on heating disproportionate to give orthophosphoric acid and phosphine.

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'B'.
