H3PO3 is heated ?
Write the reactions involved.
What happens when H3PO3 is heated? Write the equations.
Solution 1
On heating, H3PO3 decomposes into phosphoric acid and phosphine.
Solution 2
H3PO3, on heating, undergoes disproportionation reaction to form PH3 and H3PO4. The oxidation numbers of P in H3PO3, PH3, and H3PO4 are +3, −3, and +5 respectively. As the oxidation number of the same element is decreasing and increasing during a particular reaction, the reaction is a disproportionation reaction.
