Question
How will you test for phosphorus in any organic compound?

Answer

When organic compound is heated with sodium peroxide (oxidant), then the phosphorus present in compound, convert to phosphate. Then the solution is boiled in $HNO _3$, ammonium molybdate solution is added from which yellow solution or precipitate is obtained, which confirms the presence of phosphorus.
