Question

H3po2 + pcl3 gives which product

Answer 1

2PCl3 + 3H3PO2 + 3H2O → 2P + 3H3PO3 + 6HCl

explanation

Phosphorus(III) chloride react with hypophosphorous acid and water to produce red phosphorus, phosphorous acid and hydrogen chloride.

Answer 2

Hypophosphorous Acid (H3PO2) does not reacts with Phosphorous Trichloride (PCl3), so it will simply not give any product.

- However, H3PO2 reacts with PCl3 in the presence of water.

- The balanced chemical reaction is given as follows:

3 H3PO2 + 2 PCl3 + 3 H2O → 2 P + 3 H3PO3 + 6 HCl

- In this reaction, the products formed are red phosphorus (P), ortho- phosphorous acid (H3PO3) and hydrogen chloride (HCl).
