Phosphorus Pentoxide is a chemical compound whose empirical formula is P2O5 and whose molecular formula is P4O10. At ambient temperatures, this compound exists as a white solid that is crystalline in nature. Phosphorus pentoxide is an acid anhydride that is obtained from phosphoric acid. It is highly hygroscopic and is, therefore, used as a dehydrating agent and as a desiccant.
