Question

Identify the disproportionate substance from this reaction: H2PO4– + H2PO4– mc001-1.jpg HPO42– + H3PO4

A) hydrogen
B) oxygen
C) phosphorous

Answer 1

The correct answer is C) phosphorus. I hope this helps.

Answer 2

C) phosphorous

Step-by-step explanation:

When we talk about a balanced equation, we say that the amount of the initial substances and the product of the reactions are equal.

In this case, if you count each molecule, you'll find that you have more P at the end that at the beginning.

So, in this case you need to add more phosphorous.
