(a): P4 reacts with KOH at reflux in solution to form phosphine(PH3) and KH2PO2. The balanced equation is given below:
P4 + 3KOH + 3H2O ------> PH3 + 3KH2PO2
(b): Ca(OH)2 is a base where as NO2 is an acid. Hence their reaction is an acid-base reaction to produce nitrate and nitrite salt of calcium and water.
2Ca(OH)2 + 4NO2 ------> Ca(NO3)2 + Ca(NO2)2 + 2H2O
(c): Ba(OH)2 is a diacidic base where as H3PO2 is a monobasic acid. Hence their reaction is an acid-base reaction to produce barium salt and water.
Ba(OH)2 + 2H3PO2 --------> Ba(H2PO2)2 + 2H2O
(d): Al2O3 + 2SeO3 = Al2(SeO4)3
(e): AsF5 is an acid where as KOH is a base. Hence their reaction is an acid-base reaction to form salt and water.
2AsF5 + 10KOH ------> As2O5 + 10KF + 5H2O
