It reacts with water to form phosphoric acid H3PO4. It is highly exothermic and leads to formation of fumes.
P4O10(s) + H2O(l) ——→H3PO4(aq) (unbalanced equation)
P4O10 (s) + 6H2O ————-> 4H3PO4 (Balanced equation).
Diphosphorous Pentoxide is s very powerful dehydrating agent.
P2O5 (s)+ 3H2O(l) ———→ 2H3PO4 (aq)
