Since the half-reaction is occurring in a basic solution, add 32OH− to each side of the equation to eliminate the H+ ions.
P₄ +16H₂O + 32OH⁻ ⟶ 4PO₃⁻⁴ + 32H⁺ +32OH⁻
Final reaction :
P₄ + 32OH⁻ ⟶ 4PO₃⁻⁴ + 16H₂O + 20e⁻
A half reaction is either the oxidation or reduction reaction component of a redox reaction. A half reaction is obtained by considering the change in oxidation states of individual substances involved in the redox reaction.
The concept of half-reactions is used to describe what occurs in an electrochemical cell, such as a Galvanic cell battery. Half-reactions can be written to describe both the metal undergoing oxidation (known as the anode) and the metal undergoing reduction (known as the cathode).
Half-reactions are often used as a method of balancing redox reactions. For oxidation-reduction reactions in acidic conditions, after balancing the atoms and oxidation numbers, one will need to add H+ ions to balance the hydrogen ions in the half reaction.
For oxidation-reduction reactions in basic conditions, after balancing the atoms and oxidation numbers, first treat it as an acidic solution and then add OH- ions to balance the H+ ions in the half reactions (which would give H2O).

The correct answer for this question is this one: " a.The solution has a volume of 25 mL "
The observation that shows a quantitative observation is when you are talking about numeric data. Just like this one, <em>The solution has a volume of 25 mL </em>
Hope this helps answer your question and have a nice day ahead.
Answer:
I just did the assignment it's "decreases"
Explanation:
If you guys came from Ed-genuity (i'm writing it like that because apperantly that is a swear word?) That means the next questions are "As you move from left to right across the periodic table, electronegativity..." and "As you move from top to bottom within a group, the first ionization energy...".
for electronegativity, it's increases and for ionization energy it's decreases. Hope this helps!
