Question

WHY DO WE PRESERVE PHOSPHORUS IN WATER??​

Answer 1

Answer:

Therefore it is kept in water to avoid oxidation by the oxygen present in air. It is kept in water because it is insoluble in water. phosphorus is a very reactive metal , when exposed to air it starts reacting vigrously , therefore it is kept in water.

Answer 2

Explanation:

SUBSTANCES WHICH HAS LOW IGNITION TEMPERATURE CAN EASILY CATCHES FIRE. COMBUSTION SUBSTANCES HAVE THEIR OWN IGNITION TEMPERATURES, FOR EXAMPLE THE IGNITION TEMPERATURE OF WHITE PHOSPHORUS IS 35°C, HENCE IT CATCHES FIRE ON SLIGHT HEATING. THE IGNITION TEMPERATURE OF RED PHOSPHORUS IS 260°C. SO WHITE PHOSPHORUS IS KEPT IMMERSED IN WATER, WHERE AS RED PHOSPHORUS IS STORED IN ORDINARY BOTTLES..
