What is the state of p4o10?

Answer 1

Tetraphosphorus decaoxide looks correct BUT when a prefix ends in "a" or "o" and the anion name begins with a vowel, the "a" or "o" on the prefix is dropped to avoid having two vowels together in the name. So the name is tetraphosphorus decoxide.

Answer 2

Phosphorus pentoxide (P4O10) is a white crystalline solid at room temperature. It is highly reactive and hygroscopic, meaning it readily absorbs water from the air to form phosphoric acid. This compound is often used as a desiccant and as a powerful dehydrating agent in organic synthesis.

Answer 3

The proper name for the compound P4O6 is Tetraphosphorus Hexoxide. It is also known as Phosphorus Trioxide.

P = Phosphorus

O = Oxygen

Its molar mass is 219.88 g mol−1

Answer 4

P4O10 is Phosphorus pentoxide. It's melting point is 340oC, which is well below room temperature of 25oC. This makes it a solid.

Answer 5

Yes as it is a ionic compound and hence conducts electricity in molten

Answer 6

It's called tetraphosphorus hexoxide.

Answer 7

diphosphorous tetroxide

Answer 8

pentphosphorus tetraoxide

Answer 9

Triphosphorous hexaoxide.

Answer 10

tetraphosphorus dec(a)oxide
