(2) H₃PO₄ > H₃PO₃  > H₃PO₂

(3) H₃PO₃ > H₃PO₂  > H₃PO₄

Which is mismatched with respect to the shapes of the compounds given?

On addition of conc. H₂SO₄ to a chloride salt, colourless fumes are evolved but in case of iodide salt, violet fumes come out. This is because

1. H₂SO₄ reduces HI to I₂

2. HI is of violet colour

3. HI gets oxidised to I₂

4. HI changes to HIO₃
