Question

$PCl_3$ reacts with water to form

$PH_3$

$H_3PO_3, HCl$

$POCl_3$

$H_3PO_4$

Answer

$H_3PO_3, HCl$

Explanation

Solution

$PCl_3$ is easily hydrolysed by water to give $POCl_3$
and finally it gives $H_3PO_3$ and HC1.
$\, \, \, \, \, \, \, PCl_3 + H_2O \, \longrightarrow\, POCI_3 + 2HCI$
$\, \, \, POCl_3 + 3H_2O \, \longrightarrow\, H_3PO_3 + 3HCI$
