Q. Oxidation states of P in $H_{4}P_{2}O_{5},H_{4}P_{2}O_{6},H_{4}P_{2}O_{7},$ are respectively

NTA AbhyasNTA Abhyas 2022

Solution:

The value of O.No. of P- atoms in these acids are as follows
$H_{4}P_{2}O_{5} \rightarrow 4+2x-10=0$
$2x=+6$
$x=+3$
$H_{4}P_{2}O_{7} \rightarrow 4+2x-12=0$
$x=+4$
$H_{4}P_{2}O_{7} \rightarrow 4+2x-14=0$
$x=+5$
