Vedclass · Answer

(C) The given reaction is: ${P_4} + 3NaOH + 3{H_2}O 	o 3Na{H_2}P{O_2} + P{H_3}$.In this reaction,the oxidation state of phosphorus changes as follows:${P_4}^0 	o Na{H_2}P^{+1}{O_2}$ (Oxidation,as oxidation state increases from $0$ to $+1$).${P_4}^0 	o P^{-3}{H_3}$ (Reduction,as oxidation state decreases from $0$ to $-3$).Since both oxidation and reduction occur simultaneously,this is a disproportionation reaction (a type of redox reaction).

Identify the type of reaction for the following: ${P_4} + NaOH + {H_2}O \to Na{H_2}P{O_2} + P{H_3}$
