Question

What happens when phosphorus react with Oxygen chemical equation???

Answer 1

Phosphorus reacts with oxygen, usually forming two oxides depending on the amount available oxygen: P4O6 when reacted with a limited supply of oxygen, and P4O10 when reacted with excess oxygen;

Answer 2

Answer:

Red phosphorus react with oxygen to produce phosphorus (3) oxide. This reaction takes place at a temperature of 50° -60°c. The reaction takes place is mixed nitrogen & 2-4% oxygen.

P + 02 = P203 {P406}.
