Oxidation states of P in H4P2O5, H4P2O6, H4P2O7, are respectively

  • +3, +5, +4

  • +5, +3, +4

  • +5, +4,+3

  • +5, +4,+3


D.

+5, +4,+3

Oxidation state of H is +1 and that of O is -2
Let the oxidation state of P in the given compound x.

In  H4P2O5,

(+1) x 4 +2 X x + (-2) x 5 = 0
4 + 2x -10 = 0
2x = 6
x = 3

In  H4P2O6
(+1) X 4 + 2 X x + (-2) x6 = 0
4 x + 2x-12 = 0
2x = 8
x =4

In  H4P2O7,
(+1) x 4 x 2 X x + (-2) x 7 = 0
4 + 2x -14 = 0
2x = 10 
x = +5

Thus oxidation states of P in  H4P2O5, H4P2O6, H4P2O7, are +3, +4 and +5.
