\[{{P}_{4}}+3{{O}_{2}}\xrightarrow{\text{in presence of }{{N}_{2}}}{{P}_{4}}{{O}_{6}}\]
Here $${N_2}$$ acts as a diluent and thus retards further oxidation. Reaction of $${P_4}$$ under other three conditions.
\[\left( \text{A} \right){{P}_{4}}+3{{O}_{2}}\to {{P}_{4}}{{O}_{6}}\xrightarrow{2{{O}_{2}}}{{P}_{4}}{{O}_{10}}\]
\[\left( \text{C} \right)\] In moist air, $${P_4}{O_6}$$ is hydrolysed to form $${H_3}P{O_3}$$
$${P_4}{O_6} + 6{H_2}O \to 4\,{H_3}P{O_3}$$
\[\left( \text{D} \right)\] In presence of $$NaOH$$ ,
$${P_4} + 3O{H^ - } + 3{H_2}O \to P{H_3} + 3{H_2}PO_2^ - $$

Which one of the following oxides is neutral?
In general, noble gases are not very reactive.
Their chemical inertness is due to the fact that they have completely filled $$n{s^2}n{p^6}$$ electronic configuration of their valence shells. The other reasons are very high ionisation enthalpy and almost zero electron affinity.

$${H_2}S{O_4}$$ cannot be used to prepare $$\,HBr$$ from $$NaBr$$ as it :
$$HBr$$ is not prepared by heating $$NaBr$$ with $${\text{Conc}}{\text{.}}\,{H_2}S{O_4}$$ because $$HBr$$ is a strong reducing agent and reduce $${H_2}S{O_4}\,$$ to $$S{O_2}$$ and is itself oxidised to bromine.
$$\eqalign{
& NaBr + {H_2}S{O_4}\, \to NaHS{O_4} + HBr \cr
& {H_2}S{O_4}\, + 2HBr \to S{O_2} + B{r_2} + 2{H_2}O \cr} $$
189.
$${H_3}P{O_3}\,{\text{and}}\,{H_3}P{O_4}$$ the correct choice is:
The structure of $${H_3}P{O_3}$$ is as follows: There are only
two $$ - OH$$ groups and hence dibasic. The oxidation
number of $$P$$ in this acid is $$ + 3$$ . Whereas $$P$$ can have $$ + 5$$ oxidation state also. Therefore, $${H_3}P{O_3}$$ can be oxidised which means $${H_3}P{O_3}$$ is a reducing agent.

The temporary hardness of water due to calcium carbonate can be removed by adding —
Temporary hardness of water is due to presence of bicarbonates of $$Ca$$ and $$Mg$$ and it is removed by adding
$$Ca{\left( {OH} \right)_2}$$ to hard water and precipitating these soluble bicarbonates in the form of insoluble salts.
$$\eqalign{
& Ca{\left( {HC{O_3}} \right)_2}\mathop \to \limits^\vartriangle CaC{O_3} \downarrow + C{O_2} \uparrow + {H_2}O \cr
& Mg{\left( {HC{O_3}} \right)_2}\mathop \to \limits^\vartriangle Mg{\left( {OH} \right)_2} \downarrow + 2C{O_2} \uparrow \cr} $$
