A Red phosphorus B Red phosphorus is obtained by heating "A" at 573 K, and can be converted to "B" by heating at 803 K under pressure. A and B, respectively, are
- A-black phosphorus and white phosphorus.
- Bwhite phosphorus and -black phosphorus.
- C-black phosphorus and white phosphorus.
- Dwhite phosphorus and -black phosphorus.

Correct answer: D
-
Identify substance A
The statement says:
- On heating A at , we get red phosphorus.
A well-known allotrope conversion is:
Hence,
-
Identify substance B
The statement further says:
- Red phosphorus on heating at under pressure converts to B.
Another standard allotrope conversion is:
The black phosphorus obtained under these conditions is -black phosphorus.
Hence,
-
Match with options
So,
- white phosphorus
- -black phosphorus
This corresponds to Option D.
-
Check all options briefly
- A: -black phosphorus, white phosphorus incorrect
- B: white phosphorus, -black phosphorus incorrect
- C: -black phosphorus, white phosphorus incorrect
- D: white phosphorus, -black phosphorus correct
Therefore, the correct answer is:
