If Yellow phosphorous is heated with concentrated NaOH mixed with HI, we should get a mixture of Phosphonium Iodide + Sodium hypophosphite. Can the PH3 gas evolved during the reaction of P4 and NaOH be prevented from being disbursed in air by using HI (50%) in reaction ?
HI will also react with NaOH to produce Sodium Iodide in resulting solution. Can the reaction prevent the emmision of PH3 in air.

Answer:
White phosphorous dissolves in boiling NaOH solution (in a CO
2
atmosphere) to give phosphine (PH
3
). The reaction is as follows:
P

+ 3NaOH + 3H

O →
phosphine
