The balanced chemical equation is :

5P₄ + 36OH → 12HPO₃⁻² (aq) + 8PH₃ (acidic)

Here the oxidation number of P changed from 0 to -3 in PH₃ and increases  from 0 to +3 in HPO₃⁻². When P₄ changes to PH₃ reduction reaction is taking place as there is addition of hydrogen and when P₄ changes to HPO₃⁻² oxidation takes place as there is addition of oxygen.

Thus clearly both reduction and oxidation are taking place.

Thus, we can infer that here P₄ is both oxidizing as well as reducing agent.

How many moles of electrons must be transferred to plate out 110 g of manganese (MW ~ 55g/mol) from a solution of permanganate (
ololo11 [35]

Answer:

14 mol e⁻

Explanation:

Step 1: Write the balanced half-reaction for the reduction of permanganate to manganese

8 H⁺(aq) + 7 e⁻ + MnO₄⁻(aq) ⇒ Mn(s) + 4 H₂O(l)

Step 2: Calculate the moles corresponding to 110 g of manganese

The molar mass of Mn is 55 g/mol.

110 g × 1 mol/55 g = 2 mol

Step 3: Calculate the number of moles of electrons needed to produce 2 moles of Mn

According to the half-reaction, 7 moles of electrons are required to produce 1 mole of Mn.

2 mol Mn × 7 mol e⁻/1 mol Mn = 14 mol e⁻

Given the balanced equation representing a reaction:
sleet_krkn [62]
4Al(s) + 3O2(g) --> 2Al2O3(s)    This is the balanced.
From the equation:

 4 moles of Al required 3 moles of O2 to produce 2 moles of Al2O3
 
3 moles of O2 reacted with 4 moles of Al to produce 2 moles of Al2O3
1 mole of O2 reacted with 4/3 moles of Al to produce 2/3 moles of Al2O3  (Divide by 3)
4.5 moles of O2 reacted with (4/3 *4.5) moles of Al to produce (2/3*4.5) moles of Al2O3

4.5 moles of O2 reacted with 6moles of Al to produce  3moles of Al2O3

(3) is the answer.  6 mol of Al.
