Answer:
The products formed when phosphorus reacts with concentrated nitric acid are phosphoric acid , nitrogen dioxide and water .
Explanation:
Phosphorus is a strong reducing agent and has a very strong affinity towards oxygen.
Since phosphorus is a strong reducing agent, it reduces nitric acid to nitrogen dioxide and itself gets oxidized to phosphoric acid.
The oxidation state of phosphorus changes from 0 to +5, that is phosphorus gets oxidized. The oxidation state of nitrogen changes from +5 to +4, that is nitrogen gets reduced.
Thus the balanced chemical reaction can be written as:
