Balance the following skeleton reactions and identify the oxidizing and reducing agents:(b) P₄(s) → HPO₃²⁻(aq) + PH₃(g) [acidic]

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.

To know more about oxidation number here:

Why might an idea or hypothesis be discarded? A. If another scientist doesn't like it. B. If evidence also supports another hypo
vladimir1956 [14]

Answer:

C. If it is tested and the evidence does not support it.

Explanation:

A hypothesis is more less a scientific guess. Before such a guess or prediction is made, empirical observations and deductions are first made. It is from the result of the observations that a hypothesis statement is made.

For a hypothesis to become widely adopted and accepted, it must be testable within the limits of the experiment as described by the proposer. When subjected to test and it agrees, the status of a hypothesis can be upgraded.

If the hypothesis is tested and evidence contrasts the result being sort for, a hypothesis will be discarded.
