$\mathrm{PCl}_5$ reacts with finely divided silver on heating and a white silver salt is obtained, which dissolves on adding excess aqueous $\mathrm{NH}_3$ solution. Write the reactions involved to explain what happens.
$\mathrm{PCl}_5$ on reaction with finely divided silver produced silver halide.
$$\mathrm{PCl}_5+2 \mathrm{Ag} \longrightarrow 2 \mathrm{AgCl}+\mathrm{PCl}_3$$
AgCl on further reaction with aqueous ammonia solution produces a soluble complex of $\left[\mathrm{Ag}\left(\mathrm{NH}_3\right)_2\right]^{+} \mathrm{Cl}^{-}$
$\mathrm{AgCl}+2 \mathrm{NH}_3(a q) \longrightarrow \underset{\text { Soluble complex }}{\left[\mathrm{Ag}\left(\mathrm{NH}_3\right)_2\right]^{+}} \mathrm{Cl^-}$
Phosphorus forms a number of oxoacids. Out of these oxoacids, phosphinic acid has strong reducing property. Write its structure and also write a reaction showing its reducing behaviour.
Among various forms of oxoacids, phosphinic acid has stronger reducing property.
Reaction showing reducing behaviour of phosphinic acid is as follows
$$4 \mathrm{AgNO}_3+2 \mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O}+\mathrm{H}_3 \mathrm{PO}_2 \longrightarrow 4 \mathrm{Ag} \downarrow+4 \mathrm{HNO}_3+\mathrm{H}_3 \mathrm{PO}_4$$
