Question

When an organic compound containing phosphorus is fused with fusion mixture, it gives:

• A. $N{a}_{2}HP{O}_4$
• B. $N{a}_{3}P{O}_4$
• C. $Na{H}_{2}P{O}_4$
• D. $N{a}_{3}P{O}_3$

Answer 1

Answer: (B)

$N{a}_{3}P{O}_4$

When an Organic compound is treated with an oxidizing agent $\left(N{a}_2{O}_2\right)$ then phosphorus is oxidized to Phosphate.
