Question

How do you write the equation for the following reaction: solid diphosphorus pentaoxide reacts with water to form phosphoric acid?

Answer 1

P4O10 (s) +H2O (l) --------->H3PO4 (aq)

(unbalanced equation)

BALANCED EQUATION

P4O10 (s) + 6H2O ----------> 4H3PO4

Diphosphorous pentoxide is very powerful dehydrating agent.

also,

P2O5 (s) +3H2O (l) ------> 2H3PO4(aq)
