Give balanced equations for the following :
Phosphorous reacts with nitric acid to give equimolar ratio of nitric oxide and nitrogen dioxide.

Explanation

To balance the equation for the reaction of phosphorus with nitric acid to produce nitric oxide (NO) and nitrogen dioxide (NO2), we will follow these steps:

### Step 1: Write the unbalanced equation
The reactants are phosphorus (P) and nitric acid (HNO3), and the products are nitric oxide (NO), nitrogen dioxide (NO2), and phosphoric acid (H3PO4).

Unbalanced equation:
\[
\text{P} + \text{HNO}_3 \rightarrow \text{NO} + \text{NO}_2 + \text{H}_3\text{PO}_4
