Phosphorous + nitric acid => phosphoric acid + nitrogen dioxide + water
P4+HNO3=>H3PO4+NO2+H2O
P4+20HNO3=>4H3PO4+20NO2+4H2O
Hope it helps!
Plz mark it as the brainliest

studyfan: bur in my textbook reaction is given different
studyfan: the reaction given in textbook is.....P4+20HNO3=>4H3PO4+20NO2+4H2O
studyfan: please explain this balancing
wvaish: I actually didn't consider P4
wvaish: I just kept it as P so it went weong
wvaish: Wrong
studyfan: please explain me how to balance this reaction
studyfan: and that too stepwise

Phosphorous + nitric acid -------> phosphoric acid + nitrogen dioxide + water

phosphorous-- p
nitric acid --hno3

p + hno3 ------------->h3 po4 + no2 + h20

now balnce the equation ,
we get,

P4 + 2O Hn O3 --------- > 4H3 PO4 + 2O NO2 + 4H2O



hope it helps!!!!
