6\(AgNO_{4(aq)} + PH_{3(g)} + 3H_2O_{(l)}\) → 6\(Ag_{(s)} + H_3PO_{3(g)} + 6HNO_{3(aq)}\)
In the above reaction, the reducing agent is?
- HNO3(aq)
- H2O(l)
-
PH3(g)
- AgNO3(aq)
The correct answer is: C
Explanation
Phosphorus(iii)hydride is a strong reducing agent which reduces solution of silver or copper(ii)salts to the metals or phosphides.
