Question

why is phosphorus stored in the water?

Answer 1

Answer:

Phosphorus is stored in water because phosphorus is very reactive non metal. It catches fire if exposed to air. To prevent the contact of phosphorus with atmospheric oxygen,it is stored in water.

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. It is also extremely toxic, even in very small quantities.

more about it:

White Phosphorous is stored under water and not kerosene. It is kept submerged in water because it is a highly reactive metal and when it is exposed to air it autoignites as its ignition temperature is low.

hope it helps you :)
