Question

White phosphorus undergoes

slow combustion

rapid combustion

spontaneous combustion

explosion

​

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

White phosphorus is highly reactive, and spontaneously ignites at about 30°C in moist air. It is usually stored under water, to prevent exposure to the air.

Answer 2

Answer:

$\mathfrak{\large{\green{\underline{\underline{slow \: combution}}}}}$

White or yellow phosphorus glows in the dark due to its slow combustion in air. its energy of combustion is released as light. this property is known as phosphorescence.

$\mathfrak{\large{\red{\underline{\underline{rapid \: combustion}}}}}$

The cooking gas burns rapidly and produces heat and light. Such combustion is called rapid combustion. Burning of matchstick is also an example of rapid combustion. Ignition of cracker and burning of Phosphorous is the example of Explosion.

$\mathfrak{\large{\pink{\underline{\underline{spontaneous \: combustion}}}}}$

White phosphorus is highly reactive, and spontaneously ignites at about 30°C in moist air. It is usually stored under water, to prevent exposure to the air. ... Red phosphorus is stable at room temperature, but can be converted to the more reactive white phosphorus by heat, sunlight, or friction.

$\mathfrak{\large{\orange{\underline{\underline{explosion}}}}}$

White phosphorus commonly is found in hand grenades, mortar and artillery rounds, and smoke bombs. ... When exposed to air, it spontaneously ignites and is oxidized rapidly to phosphorus pentoxide. Such heat is produced by this reaction that the element bursts into a yellow flame and produces a dense white smoke.
