hypophosphorous acid

phosphorous acid

hypophosphoric acid

orthophosphoric acid

Answer

orthophosphoric acid

Explanation

Solution

When $P_2O_5 (or \, P_4O_{10})$ is heated with water, it
form orthophosphoric acid $(H_3PO_4)$ .
$\, \, \, \, \, \, \, P_4O_{10} \, + \, 6H_2O \, \longrightarrow\, 4H_3PO_4$
