Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To determine the disproportionation reaction of H₃PO₃ (phosphorous acid), we need to understand what a disproportionation reaction is. A disproportionation reaction is a type of redox reaction in which a single substance is simultaneously oxidized and reduced, resulting in the formation of two different products. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Oxidation States**: In H₃PO₃, phosphorus (P) has an oxidation state of +3. 2. **Determine Possible Products**: ...
