Question

Identify the element oxidized, the element reduced, oxidizing agent, and reducing agent in the P + HNO3 + H2O → NO + H3PO4​

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

P is a reducing agent, HNO₃ is an oxidizing agent.

3 P⁰ - 15 e- → 3 P⁵⁺ (oxidation)  loss of electron

5 N⁵⁺ + 15 e- → 5 N²⁺ (reduction) gain of electron
