Solution

The correct option is B Heating in a sealed tube

B. Heating in a sealed tube.

Pyrophosphoric acid or Orthophosphoric acid, when heated to red hot, forms metaphosphoricacid acid.

H4P2O72HPO3+H2O

Crystalline phosphorus acid, on being heated with bromine in a sealed tube, gives metaphosphoricacid acid.

H3PO3+Br2HPO3+2HBr

Metaphosphoricacid acid exists as a polymer.
