(i) A = PH 4 I ; B = PH 3 ; C = H I ; D = P I 3
(ii)
(iii) is PH 4 I. The given changes are :
(i) PH 4 I 
HI + PH 3
(ii) PH 4 I + H 2 O ⎯→ PH 3 + H 3 O + + I –
(iii) PH 3 + I 2 ⎯→ PI 3 + HI
(iv) PI 3 + H 2 O ⎯→ H 3 PO 3 + HI
(v) HI + AgNO 3 ⎯→ AgI ↓ + HNO 3
(vi) 4PH 3 + 8O 2 ⎯→ P 4 O 10 (dense white fumes) + 6H 2 O
