Question
How will you test for phosphorus in any organic compound?

Answer

When organic compound is heated with sodium peroxide (oxidant), then the phosphorus present in compound, convert to phosphate. Then the solution is boiled in $HNO _3$, ammonium molybdate solution is added from which yellow solution or precipitate is obtained, which confirms the presence of phosphorus.

When would the wavelength associated with an electron be equal to the wavelength associated with a proton? Mass of electron = 9.1095 × 10-28g; Mass of proton = 1.6725 × 10-24g.

OR

Calculate the velocity condition for the wavelength associated with a moving electron to be equal to the wavelength associated with a moving proton.

(Mass of electron = 9.11 × 10-48g; Mass of proton = 1.67 × 10-24g; h = 6.6 × 10-34Js; J = kg/ m2s-2).
