When orthophosphoric acid is heated to $600\,^{\circ}C,$ the product formed is

What is the similarity between $NH_3$ and $PH_3$?

In the nitrogen family,the $H-M-H$ bond angle in the hydrides $MH_3$ gradually becomes closer to $90^o$ on going from $N$ to $Sb$. This shows that gradually

Given below are two statements:
Statement $I$: The $N-N$ single bond is weaker and longer than the $P-P$ single bond.
Statement $II$: Compounds of group $15$ elements in $+3$ oxidation state readily undergo disproportionation reactions.
In the light of the above statements,choose the correct answer from the options given below:

Small quantities of $NO$ and $HNO_3$ are formed as impurities when $N_2$ is prepared from $NH_4Cl_{(aq)}$ and $NaNO_{2(aq)}$. These impurities can be removed by passing the $N_2$ gas through which of the following?

Nitric acid oxidises phosphorus to
