Question

Why white phosphorus kept immerse under water ??

Answer 1

White phosphorus is stored under water as it is only slightly soluble in water and it can be stored under water. Indeed, white phosphorus is only safe from self-igniting when it is submerged in water. It is, however, soluble in benzene, oils, carbon disulphide, and disulfur dichloride.

Answer 2

White phosphorus should be kept under water, as it is dangerously reactive in air, and it should be handled with forceps, as contact with the skin may cause severe burns.
