The correct answer is: 400.00
P 4 O 6 + 6H 2 O 4H 3 PO 3 ......(i)

Neutralisation :

H 3 PO 3 +2NaOH Na 2 HPO 3 + 2H 2 O ×4 .......(ii)

Adding Eqs. (i) and (ii)

P 4 O 6 + 8 NaOH 4 Na 2 HPO 3 + 2 H 2 O mol mol  .....(iii)

Number of moles of P 4 O 6 ,

n = m M = 1 . 1 2 2 0 = 1 2 0 0  mol

(Molar mass P 4 O 6 =(4×31)+(6×16)=220

   Product formed by 1 mole of P 4 O 6 is neutralised by 8 moles NaOH

   Product formed by 1 2 0 0  moles of P 4 O 6 will be neutralised by NaOH

                    = 8 × 1 2 0 0 = 8 2 0 0  moles NaOH

Given, Molarity of NaOH=0.1M=0.1mol/L

                     Molarity = Number of moles Volume in litres

                     Volume = Number of moles Molarity

                                 = 8 2 0 0 × 1 0 . 1 = 0 . 4  L  or  4 0 0  mL

∴    400mLNaOH is required.
