Consider the following sequence of reactions: Reaction sequence: red phosphorus with NaOH and NaOCl/NaClO2 giving salts P, Q, R, SIf oxidation number of phosphorous is higher in [S] as compared to [R] then select correct option(s).

Options:(select one or more)

Answer:
B, C
Solution:

(P₄)ₙ Red-P →(NaOH, NaOCl/NaClO₂) Na₂H₂P₂O₆ [P];

[P] →(acid) H₄P₂O₆ [Q];

[Q] + H₂O → H₃PO₃ [R] + H₃PO₄ [S], a disproportionation.

P is +5 in [S], +3 in [R].

Correct: (B), (C).
