Phosphorus pentoxide (P₄O₁₀) reacts with Nitric acid (HNO₃) in a dehydration reaction. The product formed in this dehydration reaction is Dinitrogen pentoxide (N₂O₅), which is a white solid.
P₄O₁₀ + 4HNO₃ → 4HPO₃ + 2N₂O₅
However, this N₂O₅ is unstable at room temperature and it decomposes to form N₂O₄ and O₂.
Both the oxides of nitrogen, i.e., N₂O₅ and N₂O₄ are acid anhydrides, which means that they form nitrogen-containing oxyacids when they react with water.
