MCQ
Phosphine $[PH_3(g)]$ decomposes to produce vapours of phosphorus $(P_4)$ and $H_2$ gas. What will be the change in volume when $100\ mL$ of phosphine is decomposed ? .......... $mL$
  • A
    $+50$
  • B
    $500$
  • $+75$
  • D
    $-500$

Answer

Correct option: C.
$+75$
c
$\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}
  {P{H_3}\, \to }&{\frac{1}{4}{P_4}\,\,\, + }&{\frac{3}{2}{H_2}} \\ 
  {100\,\,ml}&{\frac{{100}}{4}\,ml}&{\frac{3}{2}\, \times \,100\,ml} \\ 
 &{25\,\,ml}&{150\,ml} 
\end{array}$

change in vol. $=+75\, \mathrm{mL}$
