Short Description::
Long Description::
Phosphorus pentoxide is a potent dehydrating agent as indicated by the exothermic nature of its hydrolysis P4O10 + 6 H2O → 4 H3PO4 (–177 kJ). A granular form of P4O10 is used in desiccators. Consistent with its strong desiccating power, P4O10 is used in organic synthesis for dehydration.
Application::
Phosphorus pentoxide is a deliquescent compound prepared by reacting phosphorus with air. It is a commonly used as dehydrating and condensing agent in organic synthesis.
Dose::
It reacts with water to form phosphoric acid H3PO4. It is highly exothermic and leads to formation of fumes. Diphosphorous Pentoxide is s very powerful dehydrating agent.
Note::
phosphorus is burned to form phosphorus pentoxide, P4O10. Sometimes called phosphoric anhydride, or diphosphorus pentoxide, this compound can be obtained in the form of a soft white powder or colourless crystalline solid.
