The correct chemical formula should be P2O5 or P4O10 (its dimer) and not P3O10 (as originally asked in the question).

The oxidation numbers are

-2 for each O

+5 for each P

What is the oxidation number of P?

Phosphorous, or P, has a zero oxidation number in the element. Common oxidation numbers are:- It has a -3 in phosphides, where it forms the P3- ion It has a +3 in oxidation number in for example P4O6, and PCl3 It has a +5 oxidation number in for example P4O10 and PCl5


What is the oxidation number of phosphorus in phosphorous pentoxide?

The oxidation number of phosphorus in phosphorus pentoxide (P4O10) is +5. This is because each oxygen atom has an oxidation number of -2, leading to a total charge of -10 for the oxygen atoms in the compound. The sum of the oxidation numbers in a neutral compound like P4O10 is zero, so the oxidation number of phosphorus must be +5 to balance the overall charge.


What is the balanced equation for P4 O2-P4O10?

That's a synthesis, or combination reaction. These types of reactions generally have 2 reactants and 1 product.


What number of moles of O2 is needed to produce 142 grams of P4O10 from P?

We first calculate the molar mass of P4O10, which is 284 g/mol. Then we convert the given mass of P4O10 (142 g) to moles using its molar mass. There is a 1:4 molar ratio between P4O10 and O2 in the reaction, so we multiply the moles of P4O10 by 4 to find the moles of O2 needed.
