pBlock ElementsII 1 Question 99
97. Write the balanced chemical equations for the following.
(i) Hypophosphorous acid is heated.
(ii) Sodium chlorate reacts with sulphur dioxide in dilute sulphuric acid medium.
Show Answer
Solution:
- (i) $\underset{\text{hypophosphorus acid}}{2 \mathrm{H}_3 \mathrm{PO}_2} \quad \xrightarrow{\Delta} \mathrm{PH}_3+\mathrm{H}_3 \mathrm{PO}_4$ (Disproportionation)
(ii) $\mathrm{NaClO}_3+\mathrm{SO}_2 \xrightarrow{10 \mathrm{H}^{+}} \mathrm{NaCl}+\mathrm{S}+5 \mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O}$
