Question

balance p+o2-h3po + h2o by oxidation no method​

Answer 1

Guidelines for balancing redox equations

Step 1. Write an unbalanced equation

Step 2. Separate the process into half reactions

a) Assign oxidation numbers for each atom

b) Identify and write out all redox couples in reaction

c) Combine these redox couples into two half-reactions

Step 3. Balance the atoms in each half reaction

a) Balance all other atoms except H and O

b) Balance the charge with H+ or OH-

c) Balance the oxygen atoms with H2O

Step 4: Make electron gain equivalent to electron loss in the half-reactions

Step 5: Add the half-reactions together

Step 6: Simplify the equation

Finally, check that the elements and charges are balanced
