Question

what happens when Phosphorus pentoxide reacts with calcium oxide

Answer 1

P2o5 +cao made in white phosphorus p4

Answer 2

Answer: It leads to the formation of calcium metaphosphate.

Explanation:

When phosphorous pentoxide reacts with calcium oxide, it leads to the formation of single compound, which is calcium metaphosphate.

The chemical equation for the reaction of phosphorus pentoxide and calcium oxide follows:

$CaO+P_2O_5\rightarrow Ca(PO_3)_2$

By Stoichiometry of the reaction:

1 mole of phosphorus pentoxide reacts with 1 mole of calcium oxide to produce calcium metaphosphate.

This reaction is a type of combination reaction.
