Chapter 6, Problem 6K.7E

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The compound ${\text{P}}_{\text{4}}{\text{S}}_{\text{3}}$ is oxidized by nitrate ions in acid solution to give phosphoric acid, sulphate ions and nitric oxide. The balanced equation for their each half-reaction and the overall equation for the reaction has to be derived.

Concept Introduction:

Net ionic equation:

Net ionic equation is defined as the specific species that only involves to a particular reaction. This type of equations is generally used in acid-base neutralization reactions and redox reactions.
