balance the 2nd one using oxidation no method.
Dear Student,
To balance by oxidation number method first identify the species undergoing the change in oxidation state.
P+OH-PH3+H2PO2
Here P has an oxidation state of 0 on the reactant side it is undergoing change to -3 as in PH3
P=0 is also changing to +2 state as in H2PO2
Balance the charges on both sides by adding equal number of OH- on both sides
P +3H2OPH3+3OH-
P+2OH-H2PO2
Multiply equation 1 with 2 and equation 2 with 3. and cancel both OH- on both sides as the charges are equal
Therefore overall balanced equation will be
