Phosphorus pentoxide a powerful dessicant. In its comon form it is P2O5.
This compound is hypothetical and is not possible it is P4O10
It is phosphorus pentaoxide P2O5 which exists in dimeric form P4O10.
P4O10 is acidic.
P4O10 is acidic.
P4O10 is a solid element. It is a combination of phosphorus and oxygen.
Tetraphosphorus Decoxide P4O10 is held by Van der Waals forces, which are weak intermolecular attractions between molecules. Thereby, it is a molecular compound, not covalent.
P4O10 is a covalent compound. This is because Phosphorous and Oxygen are both nonmetals.
P4O10 - P for Phosphorous, 4 for tetra; O for oxygen, 10 for dec-.
P4O10 + 6H2O = 4H3PO4 Phosphorus oxide reacst with water to produce phosphoric acid.
instead of drying ammonia,P4o10 reacts with it thereby disrupting the process.
It is a covalent compound.
Since 14 (4+10) moles of P4O10 contains 4 moles of Phosphorus, 8 moles of P4O10 will contain :: (8 x 4)/14 = 2.286 moles of Phosphorus
To solve this, you need to use the mole ratio derived from the chemical formula, P4O10, and you need the molar mass of P. 3.25 mol P4O10 x 4 mol P x 30.97 g P = 403 g P .......................1 mol P4O10 1 mol P
