Question

In a molecule of pyrophosphoric acid, the number of P-OH, P = O and P – O – P bonds/moiety(ies) respectively are :

(A) 3, 3 and 3
(B) 4, 2 and 1
(C) 2, 4 and 1
(D) 4, 2 and 0

Prashant Kotian · Accepted Answer

Correct answer: B) 4, 2 AND 1. P – OH bonds = 4 P = O bonds = 2 P – O – P linkage = 1 Ans. 4, 2, 1
