Question

$${P_2}{O_5}$$  is heated with water to give

A. hypophosphorous acid
B. phosphorous acid
C. hypophosphoric acid
D. orthophosphoric acid  
Answer :   orthophosphoric acid
Solution :
When $${P_2}{O_5}$$  $$\left( {{\text{or}}\,{P_4}{O_{10}}} \right)$$   is heated with water, it form orthophosphoric acid $$\left( {{H_3}P{O_4}} \right).$$
$${P_4}{O_{10}} + 6{H_2}O \to 4{H_3}P{O_4}$$
