P2O5, or phosphorous pentoxide, is an oxide. Oxides can be basic, acidic or amphoteric. P2O5, because it dissolves in a base, is considered acidic.
It is neither a base nor it is basic It can't be said an acid but of course it is acidic in nature..................... P2O5+3H2O=2H3PO4 Thus it turns blue litmus solution red
Yes, P2O5 is an acidic oxide. When it reacts with water, it forms phosphoric acid, which is a strong acid, making P2O5 acidic in nature.
When ethanoic acid is heated with P2O5, it will undergo dehydration reaction to form acetic anhydride. The P2O5 serves as a dehydrating agent by removing water molecules from the ethanoic acid molecule, resulting in the formation of acetic anhydride.
It is an acid forming (non metallic) oxide. P2O5 + 3 H2O => 2 H3PO4
When malonic acid is heated with P2O5, it undergoes decarboxylation to form acetic anhydride and carbon dioxide as byproducts.
P2O5 is a molecular compound, composed of two phosphorus atoms and five oxygen atoms bonded covalently. When it dissolves in water, it forms phosphoric acid (H3PO4) through an acid-base reaction, indicating its molecular nature.
This is the equivalent in P2O5; the concentration of phosphoric acid is cca. 72 %.
The mechanism of the P2O5 reaction involves the compound reacting with water to form phosphoric acid. This reaction is important in various industrial processes, such as the production of fertilizers and detergents, as phosphoric acid is a key ingredient in these products. Overall, the P2O5 reaction contributes to the creation of important chemicals and materials that are used in various industries.
Triple super manufacture needs phosphoric acid of approximately 40% concentration of P2O5. If TSP contais say 46% P2O5, 25-27% of P2O5 is dervied from Phosphate rock and 73% through phosphoric acid. This means on 100% P2O5 basis, about 330 kg of P2O5 is required through phos.acid. In terms of 40% acid, it is 825 kg of 40% acid. Normally, merchant grade acid is of 52-54% P2O5 concentration. Therefore, you need to dilute phosphoric acid of 54% to 40%. this is 825-611=214 kg/ton of TSP. Generally tihs water of dilution is obtained through recycling scrubber water. When the fresh TSP from the den is granulated, you do not require much water. Considering other process requirements and losses, you may need about 500 kg of water per ton of TSP. Visweswara Rao.

The decomposition reaction of phosphoric acid (H3PO4) involves breaking down the compound into water (H2O) and phosphorus pentoxide (P2O5) when heated to high temperatures. This reaction is endothermic, requiring energy input to occur.
Phophorus pentoxide, a molecular compound with a molecular formula of P4O10 .
Yes, under suitable conditions per Patent 3,226,222 "High nitrogen reaction products of nh3-p2o5 and process therefor" (see United States Patent US3226222 link below) one can, in suitable conditions, form NO2 which reacts with excess ammonia, water and air to form NH4NO3. The creation of some Urea is almost mentioned.
