I literally hate chem but I think it’s ionic, I’m not not completely sure but it kinda sounds about right . Not the best anwser haha hope it kinda helps lol
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.

Answer:
yes I do think they mean the same thing
Explanation:
150 grams and 150 grams is the same thing and adding 0 to the end of a decimal does not change its value, you could even put 150.0000000 grams and it would still be equivalent to the other numbers
