Solution
The correct option is C 75 mL
The decomposition of PH3 takes place as,
4PH3→P4+6H2
From the balanced equation,
4 mol of PH3 produces 6 mol of H2
and 1 mol of P4
So in terms of volume,
4 ml of PH3 produces 6 ml H2 and 1 ml P4
So, when 100 ml of PH3 decomposes, volume of the products will be, 64×100=150 ml
So the required change in volume is =150−100 ml=50 ml
