White phosphorus on reaction with concentrated NaOH solution in an inert atmosphere of C O 2 gives phosphine and compound (X) . (X) on acidification with H C l gives compound (Y) . The basicity of compound (Y) is

TestHub · Accepted Answer

Here Hypophosphorus acid is formed as Y and its basicity is 1. P 4 + NaOH + H 2 O → P H 3 + Na H 2 P O 2 → HCl H 3 P O 2 Basicity = 1
