Options
- A7 ,   5 and 6
- B5 ,   4 and 3
- C5 ,   3 and 4
- D6 ,   4 and 5
Correct answer
C. 5 ,   3 and 4
Step-by-step solution
Oxidation state of P in H 4 P 2 O 7 ,   H 4 P 2 O 5 and H 4 P 2 O 6 is 5 ,   3   &   4 respectively H 4 P 2 O 7 2 x + 4 ( + 1 ) + 7 ( - 2 ) = 0 x = + 5 H 4 P 2 ¯ O 5 2 x + 4 ( + 1 ) + 5 ( - 2 ) = 0 x = + 3 H 4 P 2 ¯ O 6 2 x + 4 ( + 1 ) + 6 ( - 2 ) = 0 x = + 4
