Balance the reaction, do not leave any fractions, don't leave anything blank, then answer the questions about the reaction ________ Ca(OH)2 + ________ H3PO3 → ________ Ca3(PO3)2(s) + _________H2O This is an _________ reaction and also a________ reaction. Is this a redox reaction? (yes/no) ___________ , because neither Ca+2, OH-1, H+1, nor PO3-3 change oxidation state. Will the reaction happen as it is written? (yes/no) _____ , because acids and bases are reactive, the products are stable, and one product is a solid. The reverse reaction would not happen.
