Expert Answer
In PH3 the ratio by wt. of P : H =31:3
For H2O the ratio by wt. of O: H = 16:2 = 8:1
Keeping the wt. of H(=1) fixed, the ratio by wt. of P:O = 31/3:8=31:24------(1)
In P2O5 the ratio by wt. of P:O is (2x31) :(5x16) or 62:80 or 31:40-----------(2)
Keeping the wt. of P(=31) fixed in equations (1) and (2), the ratio of oxygen is 24:40 or 3:5 which is a simple ratio.
Hence the correct answer is (a).
