$\mathrm{P}_{4} \mathrm{O}_{10}$ is not used to dry $\mathrm{NH}_{3}$ gas because

$\mathrm{P}_{4} \mathrm{O}_{10}$ is not used to dry $\mathrm{NH}_{3}$ gas because
  1. $\mathrm{P}_{4} \mathrm{O}_{10}$ reacts with moisture in $\mathrm{NH}_{3}$.
  2. $\mathrm{P}_{4} \mathrm{O}_{10}$ is not a drying agent.
  3. $\mathrm{P}_{4} \mathrm{O}_{10}$ is acidic and $\mathrm{NH}_{3}$ is basic.
  4. $\mathrm{P}_{4} \mathrm{O}_{10}$ is basic and $\mathrm{NH}_{3}$ is acidic.

Solution

\(\text {gas }\left(\mathrm{NH}_3ight) \Rightarrow \text { Basic }\) dry \(\Rightarrow\) element \(\Rightarrow\) Inert \(P_4 O_{10} \Rightarrow\) alidic oxide acid + Base \(ightarrow R_{x n}\) salt
